Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

It was walking along my veranda, I have never seen one before and have no idea what it is. It is the largest I have ever seen in Europe. I would like to know if it is dangerous or not please.

I also found one today and just uploaded a picture here.

Hi, she looks weird because she’s a wolf spider carrying her spiderlings on her back. She’s not dangerous. She might bite to defend her babies if you touch her.
