| | | Wolf Spider...
I posted a thread earlier about whether there is a spider nest in my home...In that thread I said that my partner see a huge spider today in our living room. He has now got home and he described it to me...I have looked it up and from the looks of it it was a wolf spider...is it right to get these in a 3rd floor flat in Essex or is there some underlying problem here?! |

More likely a house spider one of the Tegenaria species. Wolf spiders dont often come indoors and are quite small. |

He said it had (and I'm quoting here so please forgive me!) 'a big bulb type thing at the end'...showed him a picture of a wolf spider online and he said 'yeah, it was exactly like that'...sorry, I know I'm probably annoying people panicking about things I know nothing about but this is bothering me! |

Your Wolf spider picture is of a male. These tend to be 'leggier' and in this instance your picture has a strong resemblance to a Tegenaria species -House spider.
If you google photo's of Tegenaria spiders you'll find your spider. Wolf spiders don't habitually come indoors.

I didn't personally see it but Kayleigh, the bottom of your 2 links, the big spider on the carpet thing, just showed my boyfriend and he said it looked like that but a bit darker... |
