False Widow

This little False Widow Spider has made his home on some wooden fence panels. Actually he's upside down but I rotated the picture as it looks odd that way. Taken Hand held from one shot but with a couple of speed lights for illumination. They are very nervous so you can't get too close without them scurrying back into their hiding place. The False Widow is Britains most venomous spider but it's not a native and first came to our shores in the late 1700s.
