Hi can anyone confirm if this is a young steatoda grossa? It was at the time of the photo the same size as a 'money spider'  |

Hi Sebastian, welcome to Wild About Britain!! We love 'ID requests'!
Young, yes. S. grossa? Not sure. A Theridiidae member, though. |

Certainly looks like a Theridiidae, couldn't give confirmation on which from this photo.

Us 'down south', really Nick?????
Don't think so, really Nick!!!
Speaking as one who is Anaphylactic to venom/stings, I really don't think we are 'Lucky' ........
All these spiders mean only one thing to me......
HELP!!!!! And use my Epipen and call 999 for help asap!!!!!
People don't realise that an Epipen is only of value for about 10 mins max!!!
We still rely on medical intervention within that time to prolong life
Without this intervention we would probably die.
That is how serious this condition is .......
Trust me when I say that I live on a knife-edge ......
