European House spider
(Not our photograph)
This not so little fella, the European House Spider is living in our house. There’s only one so he’s not a plague. I rather like him but I think he’ll be inclined to bite me if I take the love that dare not speak its name too far.

Anywhooo he’s about 1.5″ across … pretty large. And he strolls across our floor rather nonchalantly – for a spider.
Unaware that I could end his arachnid life by a messy stamping of my foot.

I suppose you’ll want to know how this ends. In truth I grabbed him with a bunch of tissue papers and launched him from the window. He’ll survive the fall, but him being a house spider I imagine our swords will soon cross again.
