This handsome chap loves being driven around.
That’s a cellar spider. If you don’t like spiders, leave them alone because they are experts at hunting other spiders including the big house spiders. They also polish off just about any other bugs they come across; useful chaps to have around.
Yes, I’m not that bothered about them as I’m not arachnophobic and they’re pretty harmless. I’m more concerned about the amount of cobwebs that they seem to produce. My block of flats has a room where all the electricity meters are kept and it’s starting to look like a comedy haunted house
What sort of spider was mine Billy? Is it time to leave the country?
It’s hard to tell but assuming you’re in the UK it’s probably a regular house spider. Usually they just lurk in dark places, except in the autumn when the males go roaming for females. At that time the local press/tabloids will run stories about how we’re being invaded by spiders that are the biggest ever (despite being completely harmless), forgetting that they ran the exact same stories at the same time last year.
They’re pretty clumsy and virtually blind, like most spiders. Spiders are into self-preservation, and they will always run before biting, if running is an option.
Don’t get me started on spiders, we’ll be here all day!
Spotted this little lad while out with the dug. He just sat there quite the thing. Dug was oblivious.
Dozy dug.

I like to think you can see it’s brain! That’s probably not it’s brain… let’s presume it’s a brain.
