Hi guys - found this in my sink earlier..

Any ideas as to what it is?

Do we get brown recluse spiders in the UK? Just it looks like this:

No its diffenately not a recluse we don't get then here...for the most part spiders we see in our homes are made of Tegenaria gigantea and the smaller Tegenaria domestica...i would say yours was the domestica one as they are more yellowish brown and markings are not as prononced as the gigantea..in english simply House spiders but i think they have wonderful markings if you can be bothered to look close enough before you turn on taps.......
