Dust spider macro (Tegenaria Atrica)
I encountered this dust spider while cleaning up in a hallway in my house. My hospitality regarding spiders is only limited so I put him outside. Later I found him back sitting on a wall and made this picture. the spider stayed there the rest of the day till night came and then he left.
Trivia:
In France Tegenaria sp. are released into wine cellars as the presence of their webs makes the cellars look old.
In 1936 a policeman on point duty on Lambeth Bridge in London held up traffic to allow a particularly large Tegenaria sp. to cross the road.
