Comments & ID Thoughts
Spotted on the ground in our bathroom (appartement). There is a opening under the front door. When I screamed (almost stepped on it) it jumped a bit straight in tbe air. Didn’t fit in the glass because it was too big, but retracted all its legs a bit when it felt the touch of the glass. Put it outside with the glass and a piece of paper. Was quite fast and able to run up the tree stem. Made the photo when it was on the tree.

It was nearly as big as my hand (10cm). I wondered if it could possibly belong to the order of Ctenidae.
This to me looks like a southern house spider. I could be wrong.
