ZOMG is it a false widow?

[Dischord]

I've just seen this little shit in the corner of the porch and was wondering if anyone could identify it? Why oh why am I such a wimp when it comes to spiders and wasps

It's a spider. It won't hurt you unless you piss it off. Leave it be.

I'd be more worried about the damp.

Araneus diadematus. Garden or Cross spider. It's large because it's full of eggs.

Run while you still can.

If your going to take pictures of harmless garden spiders, get up close and personal.

I find peoples reactions to spiders pretty funny.

Even if you knew it was a super-death anniahlation jumping-killer spider, so what?

My boss is from Australia and I remember him telling me about how he had a huge huntsman spider in his bedroom for years. He considered it usefull because it ate any other insects that happened to wander in. His attitude to poisonous spiders is to leave them alone.

They are considered in the top 10 most dangerous spiders in Australia, not because of bites, but because of the number of people who have hysterics and crash their car when one drops down from behind the sunvisor.

Only one sub-species of False Widow spider is at all dangerous to humans and you've got to poke them with a stick before they'll even think about biting you.

False Widows have shiny non-furry looking legs that have a sort of "fluidy, liquidy color to them - the legs sort of look poisonous. The only place I've seen them around my home is hiding in deep recesses. Leave them alone and they won't come anywhere near you, they won't even wander a few inches away from their webs.

When we moved I think we brought some with us, as there are loads here.

Every time I see the thread title I read it as false window.

"My wife found a False Widow in the bath last night" I told Imran at work today.

"What's that then?" he asked.

"A big white tub we sit in to wash ourselves" I replied.
