Beware of these bad boys known as the Noble False Widow Spiders, now in UK and Ireland. They do bite and hurt, more common in both the UK and Ireland now due to the milder winters. There has been a few cases of bacterial infections leading to gangerane linked to them.

I was bitten by a common house spider about 20 years ago, he had build a web in my jacket sleeve which I left in the garage for a month. He had reason to bite because I had squashed him between my arm and the jacket sleeve. After riding a mile from home had a pain like a wasp sting in my arm, stopped and removed the jacket to see the squashed remains stuck to my arm. Area of my arm still tingles now and then after 20 years.
