Unfortunately, this Nosferatu spider (Zoropsis spinimana) will have to figure out how to survive outdoors now 🤷♂️
It crawled out of a cardboard box that had been in the house when it was cut apart for recycling.
Originally from the Mediterranean, these spiders prefer warmer indoor temperatures, but my wife is not very understanding 😬✌️

@markmccaughrean@mastodon.social 😂 I caught one last week and brought it outside. But... a second one lives under the sofa. My wife knows that, but she still (at the moment) accepts it for two reasons: first, it catches (hopefully) potential Tse-Tse flies - disadvantage when living near the Frankfurt Airport. And second, the sofa is huge, unwieldy, and heavy.
