Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, or even the wrong forum altogether!! But i didnt know where else to ask!
Anyway. I have here a spider that i found in my garden in kent(uk), in a funnel web made between 2 fence pannels. Its quite a common UK spider but i noticed its funnel web was about as wide as the channel tunnel! lol so i had to put some food by it to get a look at how big it was.
Sure enough the spider came out, scared the living life out of me! but the food got behind it and scared it out of its own home... So i caught it in a bucket.
What i was wondering is, What is the name for the species? i cannot seem to find anything Anywhere about these spiders! I have tryed 'Mouse Spider' as i remeber reading in a paper once about someone getting bitten by one, and thats what they named it. But most of the google images look different.
Heres the pics.. This thing was huge for a UK spider, must have had a leg span of 2~2 1/4" ! never seen one of these this big before and by god was it aggressive!!!
Does anyone know what they are?
Thanx
Ryan
