False Black Widow Steatoda grossa
A male, on the bathroom ceiling, shortly before being introduced to the great outdoors. - Norwich, September 2018
According to Wikipedia, The bite of S. grossa is known to be medically significant in humans, but minor, without any long-lasting effects. Symptoms of bites include blistering at the site of the bite, muscle spasms, pain, fever, sweating, and/or a general malaise lasting for several days.
I think that's reassuring.... Thanks to Lloyd Davies via iSpot for identification.
