Tweets,

Sorry to post off-topic, but I am looking to identify a species of spider that is (in my opinion) quite common. I have several very good pictures but am unsure who to contact. Any suggetions? I have looked on websites, but it is hard to do if they don't show pictures and many of them are in latin names, which really don't help me.

This particular species is NEVER seen in the house. Only in wood piles and my shed, which seems to be utterly infested with them by the way! They are fairly large, have a grey body, sizable fangs, and red legs.

Please respond to ME ONLY so that others don't get a barrage of reply emails please.

Thanks for any info,
