Description
This spider is sometimes erroneously called the aggresive house spider, but agrestis actually means 'rural' not 'aggressive'. Where Tegenaria domestica is usually found in and around the house, Tegenaria agrestis is usually found in open fields (I've found them under rocks in open fields). There is still controversy as to whether this is considered a dangerous spider.
