I am curious to know which spider is this. Found inside my house today. With its legs it has around 1-2cm. Seems a bit shy, is hiding now under the photograph.

But honestly I know nothing of spiders so I can’t be sure.
You found the answer though. 🙂 They try to avoid being seen, their own eyesight is poor. So, they hold still in bright light and move to shadows or dark objects when they can make a run for it. She’s harmless to people, but a fantastic predator of insects and other spiders. I have these spiders in my house in USA, they eat moths, flies, and any other insects that get into the house. Stacks of the dead bugs they eat pile up under the webs, it’s quite impressive!
