Hmm lets see S.bipunctata.
Well they're synanthropic, fairly common, a hidey kind of spider. Mainly nocturnal and short on patience (they never seem to stay in one web for very long in my experience, unless its got a really good bunker!). I've had a few crawl around on my hand and they're not grumpy, though I've not agitated them.

I really do not think that we are lucky in having these 2 spiders here, honestly! I react very badly to venom of any kind and end up in hospital with bites/stings of any kind! This is not a pleasant experience and becomes worse with every event!

I know that we have to understand and expect these migrant species to grow here but from my opinion, they are not the most welcome of visitors!

You're lucky, S.nobilis/s.grossa haven't made it up my way yet. We just have S.bipunctata :(

What do you think about me having both Steatoda nobilis and S. grossa in my house/garden?

Just don't burn your head on the light when you're done.
