Can anyone help me to identify a spider?

Question

My husband caught it in a glass. It wasn't very big. It had a white back end and red legs. When it was in the glass we could see pincers and it was spitting venom. I live in southern Ireland

Answer 1

Check it has eight legs, also check it isnt a white back red legged venom spitting fly with some extra legs stuck on for a joke.

Dont eat it, pet it, or take it out for a ride in the car

Call the spider police...or better still look it up on the web!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

whatever you do don't let it bite you our before you know it you will be wearing a red an blue suit and swinging around new york

Answer 3
