Always end up checking more carefully for spiders

After it has been raining and some have been spotted darting across the floor, or crawling up my leg.

And of course spiders are a bit more of an issue in your part of the world than they are here. There are, thankfully, no venomous ones in the UK :o)

Wait, none? You're pulling my leg, right?

The ones I have seen around are mostly harmless, unless I were to provoke the wolf spider darting about the lounge room, and that would likely be just unpleasant. Although I don't know what sort of spider the one on my leg was.

No, I'm not teasing. There are NO venomous spiders in the UK and only one (mildly) venomous snake- the viper or adder.

I'm fairly sure they're all venomous. It's a question of whether humans need to fear their venom...
