hi all wanted to share was moving my shed today and found a strange looking spider, well a colony really about 5-8 and babies, went onto your web site and found out it / they were indeed the false widow, just posting because i live in witham in essex and did not think they would be here as i have never seen one in 36years of my life..
thanks for reading
