| | | Spider we found in a bunker.
we found this spider in a bunker today. were not too sure what the name of it is. it was fairly big and there were about 5 or 6 eggs hanging from the ceiling. if anyone knows the name of it, we would be very grateful.  |

Apart from a couple of species, all spiders are venemous. |

Distribution Map for Meta menardi; The Updated Distribution Maps - British Arachnological Society
This species of spider has been recorded from your area though some years ago. Due to their habitat they are very much under recorded. Also, the recording of species is dependent upon active spider collectors and in this case the number of collectors venturing into the habitat of this species are more limited.
No.9 Spider
