| | | False widow?
Hi!
Recently I've found a number of spiders like this in the house. On Sunday I thought I'd find out what it is, I think it's a false widow. Today I found another one, bigger than all the others I've seen.
Is this a false widow too?
Thanks!    |

It is a very good example of a Steatoda Nobilis - aslo known as a false widow |
