User's notes

One of those common big hairy spiders that likes to stretch it’s web where both insects and humans can get easily trapped! The sort that will fill in the space over a gateway leading to a light source, then, in the morning usually tucks itself somewhere under the eaves till night fall. It may be related to my earlier hairy one, posted at sighting 4645838, which has much clearer photos, especially for the view of its back. They both had a prominence towards each side on the front of their upper backs, and similar body shape overall. Later comment (19th March): I think this could be the same as todays posting at Sighting 4654489.
