Is it that?

According to the photo, I’d say yes, but the article says the female only has 200 to 300 eggs. And according to what I could read about it, it’s not “harmless” but “not dangerous”. It won’t come into your house to bite you, but if you attack it, it will bite…

I love those spiders…

They’re the most common ones in the countryside in my home area…
