As spider mating season begins, a species considered the most venomous in the country has been multiplying due to a hot summer.
False widow spiders are a less dangerous arachnid than their lookalike relation, the black widow - the world's deadliest species. Experts say getting bitten by one feels like a wasp sting.
The warning comes after the Mirror recently reported a man almost lost his finger when he was bitten by the spider species during a trip to Skegness, Lincolnshire. The dad was on holiday when he woke up to swelling that eventually went up to his elbow.
