I seen a spider crawling on the side of my bed that looked just like this one but it was alot bigger i think it was a brown recluse good thing i killed that bastard.
Hi! It's me Ginger the amazing cat. I think your video is great. Yes cats can use computers, I thought everyone knew cats like to play with a mouse. I am a little jealous that you have such a great video.. I hope someday I will be famous by being a YouTube star. Keep Up the good work. Bye for now and have a good day.
Although the tegenaria domestica is very similar and does occur in england..the tegenaria has a more rounded carapace than the wolf spider. But it is very hard to see from the video, so I guess it could be.. lol i guess i'm not 100% sure after all!
@LuvMyBirdies I think it is Tegenaria gigantea. If you use these terms in the YouTube search window - attenborough wolf spider - you should get one of David Attenborough's videos showing a female wolf spider laying eggs and caring for them. That is a marvelous video and thanks for commenting.
I know that this is an old video..but I study spiders, and these comments are wrong. This is NOT a hobo spider. This is NOT a brown recluse. This is a wolf spider, and they are harmless. I am 100% sure about this.
@DarkStar6161 No it's a house spider, we don't get hobo spiders and brown recluse spiders (thank god) here in Britain. They look similar, but they are venomous from what I hear, not enough to kill someone, but it's a nasty venom all the same (look up brown recluse spider bite).
These common house spiders look virtually identical to the hobo spiders we see in the Pacific Northwest. How can you tell the difference without being an expert? Hobo's move very quickly, and make tunnel type webs (hence the name Hobo). Generally they are not aggressive. However if you are bitten it is very serious. It's important not to kill a spider unless you are certain it is dangerous (or bug bomb). This is because you do not want a dangerous kind to become dominant in your home.
It's probably just a domestic house spider Tegenaria domestica, people saying it's a hobo spider will be Americans, I see that you are in England. It's also a common mistake to think they are Wolf spiders, which they aren't.
Looks like a hobo spider-very nasty necrotic bite. They are in western canada now and the northwest united states and their stings look like Brown recluse stings of the central uS Ohio valley . Very painful and nasty bites.
Nasa delivered 2 golden orb spiders to the Space Station on the last flight of the Space Shuttle, Endeavour. See videos of them here on YouTube. Search for - nasa golden orb spider -
Wolf Spider. Aggressive. Will bite if given the chance. Not gonna kill you though. You can find them anywhere you wanna look for them. Hell if ya go outside right now, I;ll put money on you finding one in a matter of minutes
To say a spider doesn't have venom is ignorant. All spiders have venom, that is how they eat. Perhaps its not dangerous to humans, but still, they have venom.
Wolf spiders do bite. They are not venomous. The bites do hurt. The most poisonous spider in the world? The daddy long legs. However, their fangs are too small to puncture human skin.
@SWAZDUDE When I checked on the daddy long legs spider, Pholcus phalangioides, I found where someone said they have never been known to bite humans so the poison has never been examined, as far as that person, who seemed very knowledgeable, was aware.
@andrewburbidge Mythbusters actually did a test to see if daddy long legs are venomous, and can bite humans. Adam was bitten by a daddy long leg about 6 times, it didn't do anything. That is proof, watch the video yourself.
@ThatIsGoodOJ He's brave! Sometimes, what is meant by saying something has never been known, is that no one has published research on it in a scientific journal.
I watched that video and it really showed there seems to be no special reason to fear those spiders. I had to search for - daddy longleg myth - to find the video.
It has been scientific tested that the 'Daddy long legs' do not have that sort of venom, its either the Brazilian Wondering Spider that could have the most toxic, neurotoxins,
@InvertAndSpiderClub Thats what the people at Mythbusters said - a Brazilian spider is the most dangerous, followed by the Australian funnel web spider. Their video comes up with a search for these terms - daddy longleg myth -
@andrewburbidge yeah the myth comes about that the daddy long legs has been known to eat other spiders, a lot of people think that the Funnel Web is actually more dangerous to humans being as the test done was on rats and Brazilian wandering spider venom is more harmful to marsupials whereas the Funnel Web Spider is more dangerous to humans, however we don't see mythbusters putting their arm into a box filled with either spider, so we may never know. Probably best not to get bitten
@BroomeBlocker4 That's right. They can't do experiments on people to find out which kind of venom is most dangerous. If they tested venoms on cultures of human cells it still might be that some people could have a much stronger reaction than others for the same venom. Best to avoid them.
It's called a wolf spider, they can totally peirce your skin, especially the bigger ones. They are not venomous. They make funnelwebs and patrol the 'alleyways' of your house eating any pest insects which might live there.
@WhenTheMusicsOver2 It might be called a wolf spider by some, but is that the correct name for it? A page with this title: USA Spider Identification Chart has pictures of spiders of interest. It doesn't look much like the hobo spider they have pictured - it's abdomen is bigger but the one they show might be a male and males do have smaller abdomens. But I think this one is Tegenaria gigantea.
Definitely NOT a hobo. Hobo's are more spindly than that. Check out the seven second post entitled "hobo spider" . In that video there is a hobo spider, and hobo's can be very dangerous.
I know because this summer I had to kill a hobo in my apartment ( I live in Vancouver they are everywhere here now), and it was a freaky experience.
These spiders are actually quite venomous, however their fangs and punching power is far too weak to get through our tough skill. They can't harm you and are actually doing you a favour in your home by eating all the other bugs that live in your house! If you throw them out, they will eventually find a way back in :)
I slaughter them whenever I see them and have instigated a population boom amongst the cellar/daddy longleg spiders just to kill/starve them out, some MASSIVE form of spider that was so big I thought each segment was a whole spider until I saw that it was definitely only 8 legs and 2 segments crawled on the wall earlier, it's dead, but I fear what else might be trying to get into the house, or already in
cellar spiders are okay, they look like craneflies without wings, my personal army
For those that don't know, these spiders are called the Rabid Wolf Spider....supposedly harmless to humans. I don't know if I completely believe that or not, but I sure don't stick around to find out!
the ordinary house spider is such a boring name, it makes the spider sound so much more mundane. it should have been called the house-shadow-lurker or something...
if its a house spider leave it your house its been there all its life and wont bother you too often they just hide away. they only really come out to eat or mate, then go away again. if you put it outside it will die. you should leave them because they will eat all the pesty little insects like midges that bite you and leave itchy bumps on your skin. i like spiders :)
DnylF1 left this comment: "My brother and I threw one of these out last week. It was creeping on the wall in the bathroom when I got it down to the faucet. It tried to escape from there but couldn't climb up. Eventually it got tired so then we could just put it into a cooking pan and he threw it out." Somehow it got deleted. Thanks DnylF1. That's the sort of thing I would do also.
Should of seen the size of the one we had in our bathroom had to get my friend to stab it to death, usually I run from em. But this one was bloody HUGE! I couldn't run I was petrified.
@andrewburbidge cant say i know about these spiders.all i got in my house are daddy long legs and all they do is eat ants and go in peoples shoes,they are useless as always.
@Theroguesunit6 I think you mean some sort of spider but if you mean the sort in this video, probably not poisonous. I did read that often when a bite turns nasty it is because of infection that got in rather than venom. Anyway, best to leave them alone or catch them in something to remove them.
when I was filming the spider myself the second time to get a better view when i searched the internet think it might be a tegenaria domestica but I'm not exactly sure if it is one
@TheAirsoftknight lucky,im in homestead,florida the only thing a wet backyard gets me is lizards on the windows looking inside begging for a dry place.but i dont have a roach problem anymore,my dad sprayed the downstairs of my house and ever since i havent seen them at all,not even upstairs
@asdop We get ones like this because that's where I'm from. If you search for my username and - spider - here on YouTube you can see other spiders I videoed. A very common garden spider is the sort with the cross on its abdomen. Maybe the cross is camouflage, looking something like strands of the web with dew on them.
@asdop you guys are lucky i suppose you dont have very dangerous spiders like the US.. but if you get dangerous spiders in an import car.... your dead no anti venon is available...
you get those in england? i had one try to attack me in my house... youve probably seen the one with the guy and the vacume killin one.. i prefer airsoft guns, its very funny when the splat everywhere
@justcoolkool Yeah. If spiders went extinct then the dinosaurs would come back. But in spider form. Do you really want a spidersaurus rex running around?
noooooo! they dont otherwise there's be so many other nice little insects that spiders normally eat EVERYWHERE! theyre worse than spiders too they spread disease etc.
@svenXDsven Thanks. So is that why Amsterdam has been called 'de grote spinneweb'? Maybe it was only rarely said but I did read it somewhere. It would be because of the shape made by all the canals, on a map.
@andrewburbidge....... very similar. Even the violin shaped marks on the back of its head. But this looks a little smaller, Using your finger to reference its size.
As I was moving home in the last couple of days, I saw a black widow from the garden shed - a false black widow, with grey markings rather than the red of the dangerous sort. I also saw one like this only much smaller. I got it to crawl onto my hand and threw it somewhere safe.
I can see what you mean - it looks like T. atrica. But from the Wikipedia article, they are darker and the abdomen is smaller. Although they might be found in England, it seems, they aren't common here. So, the one in this video is almost certainly T. gigantea.
I commented on this about a year ago, and will do so again for more recent viewers. It is Tegenaria gigantea, which, despite its large size, is a very common and ordinary house spider! It is closely related to what people call 'the hobo spider'. But the hobo spider (T. agrestis) is almost always found outside.
None of this UK family of spiders can hurt you. They can bite, but very rarely do. The bite would be no more than a pinprick, with no after-effects. So, relax!
There is the black widow, which is black with red markings. It is thought to be native to all temperate zones of the northern hemisphere but some seem to think that we don't have them in Britain but that they might invade because of global warming.
I've seen a black spider with white markings in the UK, which must have been a false black widow , and harmless - unless there is such a thing as an albino black widow spider of the dangerous sort!
ok i life in Poland both i dnt see here any of them once i saw spider whu looks bit similar bth im not sure wth it was both i think the can travel wth imported foods too tht bit dangerouse huh .... i saw video like brazil wandering spider cames here wth bananas huh
I thought it was a Hobo Spider when I looked at it, but they do get confused with other species. BTW According to Wikipedia (which isn't to be taken as gospel in every instance), AGRESTIS translates as 'of the fields'. If so, it could well be the root of the words 'agricultural' and 'agrarian'. There again, it could also be one of those dead language words with more than one conceivable meaning. Ancient Greek and Hebrew are full of them.
Thanks. I think that's essentially right about the origin of the name. It's interesting how words sometimes perhaps have more than one origin and it can seem difficult to exclude possiblitities regarding origins completely.
lmao, cali has more dangerous spiders than this, these house spiders are found in generally UK,Ireland and northern europe, theyre the biggest type of spider u will find here, and theyre completley harmless
There were woodlice where I found this one and it had been eating them. Most spiders can't eat woodlice, apparently, because of the tough exoskeleton. Also, it was in a conservatory next to a garden and I think these spiders are usually garden spiders. The woodlice attracted it in from the garden.
how does that make em cute? spiders are public enemy #1 to me, i see one i scream like a sissy, look for somthing to kill it, stare at it for like 4 mins in fear and awe, then finnly kill them
lol el00023, your reaction is EXACTLY LIKE MINE. "stare at it for like 4 mins in fear and awe," that made me lol so much. then as soon as you see it viciously run towards you it's like OMG! *sound of catalogue hitting floor*
They look fierce and ARE noticeable when big, One just crawled undermy door and i got him in a bottle, I might put it on youtube or something, shits huge! prob harmless though
Thats the spiderI used to own when i was younger. anyone know what its called....been told many times it was a daddy long leg but i can clearly see its not.
There has been a lot of discussion in the comments about which species this is. Probably it is Tegenaria gigantea although others have said it is T. agrestis - the hobo spider.
There are many regional names for little creatures of one kind or another.
From some reading about spider bites I found that sometimes the necrotising wound that can result might be due to infection rather than venom. That might mean that any spider bite could cause a sore and even leave a scar, depending on the likelihood of such an infection.
Holy -beeep- thats the same spider i found in my room the other night.. i killed it im really scared of spiders can this type hurt u??? i found one b4 on my bed and now im scared to sleep coz it got away when i tryed to kill it D: i dunno what to do about them im so scared if it trys to bite mee D:
I put a glass over a spider then slide a card under the glass and drop the spider outside the house. Spider's don't know what's happening with glass near them.
it only looks like a wolf spider if they do bite you it only usually cause's swelling, mild pain and itching, but thats only sometimes other times it won't do anything but sting a bit
I've never been bitten by one, as far as I can remember. It might depend on whether it is a dry bite or one with venom in it - the spider can choose whether or not to release venom as it bites, apparently.
It's thought that, either way, this type of spider wouldn't cause much pain for most people but some could have a stronger reaction and then it might hurt more. But also there is a chance that an area of flesh around the wound could be killed, leaving a scar - but maybe not from this type.
They can and they might bite a person if they are seriously disturbed and frightened. If you have a very small lens or a microscope you can examine their fangs. They do look quite frightening close up.
The thing that makse these not as scary is that they don't bite. I woke up with one on my arm, had a complete freakout, and it was still there. A normal spider would have bitten me, but it just went down to my hand as if nothing happened. Then I just let it get off.
I think it's extremely rare that this sort of spider would climb on a person, because of fear for their own safety.
If you would like to see a swarm of baby spiders, I've just uploaded two videos of a swarm I saw yesterday. I don't remember ever seeing such a thing before.
well, hobo spiders are normally identified by the two lines on the carapace(which that has) although the common/ giant house spider has a "mean looking face" on its carapace...if it is in a cassette box, it isnt too big to be a hobo spider. hobo spiders grow to 1 1/2" while giant house spiders grow up to 4" hope this helps ;)
i hit a nearly hatched group of spiders with the hose by accident when watering i felt well guilty afterwards they looked just like tiny versions of the one's in the jars
ya i try to catch and keep all spiders i find in my house...i own three tarantulas...one 4" female and two slings...one just molted out of a sling on wednesday...waiting for this wednesday to feed it.
As with wasps, I think you can get used to them. Looking at one with a very strong lens makes them appear more interesting - maybe more dangerous also, though.
i hate spiders. idk why im doing this to myself... xD

These common house spiders look virtually identical to the hobo spiders we see in the Pacific Northwest. How can you tell the difference without being an expert?

It's important not to kill a spider unless you are certain it is dangerous (or bug bomb). This is because you do not want a dangerous kind to become dominant in your home.

@svenXDsven Thanks. So is that why Amsterdam has been called 'de grote spinneweb'? Maybe it was only rarely said but I did read it somewhere. It would be because of the shape made by all the canals, on a map.

@andrewburbidge I know Amsterdam has lots of canals but i don't know if it is called "de grote spinnenweb"

@shizmit11 I've seen the name. But isn't that a different species? Perhaps it just looks similar.
andrewburbidge 1 year ago
@andrewburbidge....... very similar. Even the violin shaped marks on the back of its head. But this looks a little smaller, Using your finger to reference its size.

That's probably a healthy instinct.
As I was moving home in the last couple of days, I saw a black widow from the garden shed - a false black widow, with grey markings rather than the red of the dangerous sort. I also saw one like this only much smaller. I got it to crawl onto my hand and threw it somewhere safe.

Tegenaria atrica...the house spider
sturmtiger848 2 years ago
I can see what you mean - it looks like T. atrica. But from the Wikipedia article, they are darker and the abdomen is smaller. Although they might be found in England, it seems, they aren't common here. So, the one in this video is almost certainly T. gigantea.

tench626 2 years ago
I commented on this about a year ago, and will do so again for more recent viewers. It is Tegenaria gigantea, which, despite its large size, is a very common and ordinary house spider! It is closely related to what people call 'the hobo spider'. But the hobo spider (T. agrestis) is almost always found outside.
None of this UK family of spiders can hurt you. They can bite, but very rarely do. The bite would be no more than a pinprick, with no after-effects. So, relax!
tench626 2 years ago
ok so it meant tht in europe we have any deadli s[piders too?
martini9799 2 years ago
There is the black widow, which is black with red markings. It is thought to be native to all temperate zones of the northern hemisphere but some seem to think that we don't have them in Britain but that they might invade because of global warming.
I've seen a black spider with white markings in the UK, which must have been a false black widow , and harmless - unless there is such a thing as an albino black widow spider of the dangerous sort!

gucci5123 2 years ago
I thought it was a Hobo Spider when I looked at it, but they do get confused with other species. BTW According to Wikipedia (which isn't to be taken as gospel in every instance), AGRESTIS translates as 'of the fields'. If so, it could well be the root of the words 'agricultural' and 'agrarian'. There again, it could also be one of those dead language words with more than one conceivable meaning. Ancient Greek and Hebrew are full of them.
MatlockJack 2 years ago
Thanks. I think that's essentially right about the origin of the name. It's interesting how words sometimes perhaps have more than one origin and it can seem difficult to exclude possiblitities regarding origins completely.

LaVelaPuerca999 2 years ago
There were woodlice where I found this one and it had been eating them. Most spiders can't eat woodlice, apparently, because of the tough exoskeleton. Also, it was in a conservatory next to a garden and I think these spiders are usually garden spiders. The woodlice attracted it in from the garden.

There has been a lot of discussion in the comments about which species this is. Probably it is Tegenaria gigantea although others have said it is T. agrestis - the hobo spider.
There are many regional names for little creatures of one kind or another.

i think its a wolf spider. ive been bitten 3 times and nothing happens, just two little red bumps :P
jakewarning 2 years ago
From some reading about spider bites I found that sometimes the necrotising wound that can result might be due to infection rather than venom. That might mean that any spider bite could cause a sore and even leave a scar, depending on the likelihood of such an infection.
andrewburbidge 2 years ago
Holy -beeep- thats the same spider i found in my room the other night.. i killed it im really scared of spiders can this type hurt u??? i found one b4 on my bed and now im scared to sleep coz it got away when i tryed to kill it D: i dunno what to do about them im so scared if it trys to bite mee D:

dus it hurt if they bite?
dumbray 2 years ago 2
I've never been bitten by one, as far as I can remember. It might depend on whether it is a dry bite or one with venom in it - the spider can choose whether or not to release venom as it bites, apparently.
It's thought that, either way, this type of spider wouldn't cause much pain for most people but some could have a stronger reaction and then it might hurt more. But also there is a chance that an area of flesh around the wound could be killed, leaving a scar - but maybe not from this type.
andrewburbidge 2 years ago
can they bite?
dumbray 2 years ago
They can and they might bite a person if they are seriously disturbed and frightened. If you have a very small lens or a microscope you can examine their fangs. They do look quite frightening close up.
andrewburbidge 2 years ago
kill it man
frostbittennecrosex 2 years ago
The thing that makse these not as scary is that they don't bite. I woke up with one on my arm, had a complete freakout, and it was still there. A normal spider would have bitten me, but it just went down to my hand as if nothing happened. Then I just let it get off.
They LOOK creepy though.
loluntilmypie 2 years ago
I think it's extremely rare that this sort of spider would climb on a person, because of fear for their own safety.
If you would like to see a swarm of baby spiders, I've just uploaded two videos of a swarm I saw yesterday. I don't remember ever seeing such a thing before.
andrewburbidge 2 years ago
well, hobo spiders are normally identified by the two lines on the carapace(which that has) although the common/ giant house spider has a "mean looking face" on its carapace...if it is in a cassette box, it isnt too big to be a hobo spider. hobo spiders grow to 1 1/2" while giant house spiders grow up to 4" hope this helps ;)

As with wasps, I think you can get used to them. Looking at one with a very strong lens makes them appear more interesting - maybe more dangerous also, though.
