Identify this killer!

What's Hot
LuttiSLuttiS Frets: 2243
So went out to see the rabbit last night saw a giant killer spider and ran away. 
Looked online and this is the closest image i could find to what it might be...

Realising it might not be this.. i (bravely) went back out and took a picture..



The length of the body including head is about 15mm and it has the thick legs of a killer.

What is it? :)

    Could be a Funnel Web but it’s possibly, most probably, just a giant house spider.  :)

    A spider.

    It's probably not dangerous unless you're also less than 15mm tall, not including your legs.

    Looks like a house spider. Completely harmless, unless you happen to be a fly.

    The Chernobyl Goliath .. didn't realise they'd reached the UK. Like your vintage American cars .. ;-)

    The Fukushima Gozilla spider is getting bigger .. expect them to come here at some point.

    Looks like the fella that was in my hair and then on the pillow at 2am this morning. I'm not scared of them, but still have a bit of a jump reflex when there's suddenly something a few inches away from my face.

    Glad it was me and not Mrs FP - the whole street would have been awake and calling the police.

    It does have to be said that the ending of the original 1958 version of The Fly is really quite disturbing and scary. Much better than the 1980s remake.

    Looks like a black lace weaver spider. It can be identified by the markings on the abdomen, if you look very closely you will notice the word 'agadoo' spelled out in dark brown.

    haha no :)

    Whereas i'm not particularly fond of spiders, i wouldn't just kill it. If it needs moving it's a glass and paper and flamethrower.
