This is known as Dysdera crocata. Or common Woodlouse Spider. Given the name because they only hunt Woodlouse, however their bite is quite painfull due to the size of their chelicerae. They are very common all over the world, and yes they are found in the UK and Ireland, as well as east coast of northern US and very select part of the west coast. They are found in warm, damp locations, practically the same locations as woodlouse. They are harmless. in case you are wondering im an arachnologist.

Except this spider and ones around the property including the one by my window made webs. The webs where the "shaggy" variety. This spider made webs from holes in starish pattern and the webbing resembled razor wire on the ground and when bugs came across they would come out.

Woodlouse dont make webs as far as I know, inaddition this spider is more violet than a rusty color without a yellow abdomen.

Right, the spider makes the web, not the louse. youtube needs an edit button.

This particular spider was a female as she was shaped like one and had no swollen pedipalp. There had been later a male wondering about, interesting story, threw him outdoors from the bathroom, next an exact same looking spider appeared. Scared the pants off my fiance. To look up and see the thing on the ceiling again!

It is a Woodlouse Spider, they have big fangs to get through woodlice shells, we have them in England, they live in damp places and they can give a painfull bite but harm harmless

[redirus92]

Not too sure about that guess but VERY close!

I say that because these spiders were common but build webs.

Webs that covered a surface area that could up passerbyes. Web that looked fuzz and they hid in a hole. Star like

[shannonshore]

Had one of these (if its a woodlouse spider and it looks like it is) crawl over my face - woke up when I felt it. Did not bite me but I tore the bed apart until I found iand squashed it.

This spider is similar to the white tipped spider found in Australia but this species is non venomous but packs a painful bite. Although the Australian white tipped is very venomous and could make your flesh rot yuck -_-

They do indeed make webs, but rarely use them for catching prey. And no one said anything about woodlouse making webs, the spider does. The males can also vary in several mild dark colours.
