OK - it's begun. The eight-legged dash.
Perhaps it's early, but it's inevitable. The UK's most common biggies have ventured out to look for a mate.
Tegenaria Duellica, Domestica and Atrica are on the loose!
Perfectly normal for the UK (if a little early).
Spotted these two males (I actually think they are both Duellica - one's a juvenile) tonight on top of my oven and trapped them before releasing them outside!
These are what we Brits call 'house spiders', yet it's only now, at the start of autumn that we notice them in our homes!
Fat pedipalps (club like appendages) - males.
