I got bitten in bed on my neck by a spider last year, very painful and like a wasp sting.....my friend got bitten by a spider on her leg in the attic a couple months ago, she nearly lost her leg, luckily shes recovering. Both in UK  |

Look at those markings, fantastic what a beauty! We get lots of spiders here but mostly brown things which are generally killed instantly by me, as I don't like insects unless they're in the garden and food for the birds and Mrs Tiggy Winkle  |

Both in UK Both of those seem to be the symptoms of this spiders bite. It is known as the False Widow. Because it resemble the Black Widow, but it's not as large nor as poisonous. |

I've heard about these OP, I am hopeless with spiders. I turn into one of these people who freak out and act ridiculous.
I hope these false widows steer clear of where I am! And I also hope they don't evolve over time and turn bigger / more poisonous!

I love spiders I use to catch daddy long legs and throw them at cobwebs just to watch the spiders do their thing.
