A few years ago I found a spider living in my garden bin, a bigger mm version of this little one. At the time I was informed they were a light colour Tegenaria maybe but the more I look at this little one the less sure I am. Can anyone help me with a solid id please 🙏. Found in the North East of the UK on my kitchen floor.

I agree that it maybe a light colored Tegenaria Agrestis, I'm not 100% sure though. Hope this helps!

I'd say that's a Tegenaria domestica, though the banding on the legs looks quite faint for that species.

Thanks ppls the light colours really throw me off. I went through ab n got the original pics of the male I definitely think they are the same sp I assume he is a decent from Oscar as Oscar is the only one I ever saw like that.

They aren't the best pics as they were taken with my old phone about 3 years ago lol but you can see the dark legs n light abdomen. I am pretty sure they are the same sp.
Kept little one this time, if they are in my kitchen they are a house spood and there for fair game to keep 😆 and seen as grandad was Oscar the grouch think I will call this one Elmo 😁 today's job make Elmo a new home and start documenting little one. If it took 3 years to see another I won't let the opportunity pass me by again 😊


This is Oscars original post, just incase anyone is interested 🤷🏻‍♀️.
