This spider was found in my house, and thus can easily be called a 'House Spider'. However, the exact species is somewhat uncertain, especially as T. domestica might sound to have been the species likely to be seen in houses. But that is not so, T. gigantea is more common, and T. domestica does not usually have such distinctive abdominal markings as are seen in this specimen.
