Little fella found under my pillow...
Can anyone tell me what type it is and is it common to find in doors?
This Is an Agelenidae, very likely a Giant House Spider (Eratigena atrica). As the common name implies, our houses make a perfect habitat for this species 🙂 These spiders are very shy and reluctant to bite. Their venom Is harmless to humans, anyway.

Wonderful! Thank you for this! He/she was slightly too large for me to share a bed with him so I had to remove it to the garden.
That was very nice of you. He can adjust to living outdoors. Thank you for relocating him! Or should I say ” her”? I’m not about the gender 🙂
