House spider (Tegenaria domestica)

I don't think this is the same spider I blipped last week see HERE!  because he is missing a leg on his lefthand side.  I was eating my lunch when I noticed him on my ceiling  -  forgot lunch - rushed for camera. Need I say more!!  It is definitely a male because of the pedipalps sticking out from his head  -  he uses these to transfer sperm to females. If you look closely you might see the claws at the end of his feet  -  that's how he can cling onto the ceiling without falling off or having to spin a web.
