Is this spider one of them?

[groucho]

Just been eating off my garden table and found this just above my knee.



Is it a false widow?

Cheers

[GTDNB]

yes. looks like steadota grossa or steadota bipuncta to me

[groucho]

Should I remove it from garden furniture?

[GTDNB]

they've probably been in your garden for years, i'd just leave them, unless you keep getting bitten on the knees that is! the hype over them the last couple of years is nonsense imo.

Ok, I'll leave it.
