Spiders usually start to come out in early September, with their presence noticeable in homes until around mid-October. After this, they tend to be spotted indoors less often.

In the UK, there are around 650 different species of spider, but few of them could actually cause you any harm.

I spotted this rather sweet long-legged beastie in my home recently (I know, I need to do some cleaning!)

I'm not scared of spiders, so I took a photo, then scooped it up and put it outside - but here at the County Press, we would love to see pictures of any spiders you have found in your house this autumn!
