A welcome visitor?

To some perhaps!   The Common House Spider (tegenaria domestica) thought to have originally arrived in this country from the Mediterranean in cargos of produce.  In Autumn the males leave their webs in search of females and enter sheds, buildings and attics.  It can survive without food and water for several months.  Once they have mated they die and the female then produces several egg sacs  during the following year before she too dies. Their bite is harmless to humans although one of the most poisonous.  (I am not a great fan although becoming  more tolerant!).  This is another backblip.
