Noble false widow???? - Farendwoman - 24-07-2022
Just discovered this spider in a punnet of Lidl plums from Spain.
I think it’s a noble false widow spider!

Going to release it in a remote bit of woodland - can’t bear the thought of killing a living creature.
Daughter wanted me to flush the poor thing down the loo - but he’s pretty handsome and he didn’t ask to leave his Spanish home and come here.
