Tegenaria atrica
Tegenaria atrica (atri - dark, feral, from atrium) is one of the biggest spiders of Central and Northern Europe. Females grow up to 1.8 cm, males up to 1.5 cm. Adult males can be found from July to October, adult females occur all year. In UK, it is colloquially referred to as the dust spider or the dustbunny spider for their fondness of building webs around dustbunnies under furniture or behind stock.
We got a few of these spiders around here.. Sometimes they come into the house, but most times the live outside under the stiones in our garden.
