Already seen one in my bathroom the other night. Tried to catch it with my spider catcher but it crawled through a crack under the bath

Probably went under the bath to join it's thousands of family members.

Beautiful. What it's name?

I'm respecting its privacy.

A nice spider with a great name - the horrid ground weaver. Plymouth is infested with them apparently.

Hope May Kasahara has adopted it and given it house room so it's nice and warm. The weather is turning cooler after all so we all have a duty to look after the spiders.
