Warehouse-spider, once seen only in Helsinki, is now more widespread and bigger than ever.
It has been rumoured that on this summers the psider was even seen in Oulu in North Finland.
The spider seems to prefer cities and not Finnish wilderness. First sights of this spider happened in 1970s. Since then it has been fairly numerous in Helsinki but in nowhere else. However last 5 years have seen it spreading further into Finland but only on cities bordering an sea.
>Biggest individual found from Finland had 9 cm diameter when measured from the longest legs.
We have a similar thing here. There's one subway station in Stockholm called Kungsträdgården which is the only place in Scandinavia where you can find this spider species.
