This large spider was in the corner of my plastics recycling box under the front steps. It's thought of as a house spider, and the males can often be seen in the Autumn running over living-room carpets, much to the startlement of the occupants. At that time of the year they go in search of females.

    That is a gallery-quality image, the whole image as well as the character of the spider. One of the very best.
