This is a genuine stowaway. Returned from holiday to find this attractive spider in my camera bag. There were several of them around and in the Spanish property I stayed in. At close quarters with my camera, the spider would spring at the lense presumably in defense. I note that it is absent from Britain but doubt that this creature will survive the Cumbrian climate. Crisis of conscience.
