Arachnology

I've identified yesterday's visitor as Pseudolychas ochraceus. According to literature found on the trusty interweb, it 'can deliver a painful sting but not life threatening under normal circumstances'.

It seems that specimens found in the house are usually males seeking a mate. So tragically, it set out looking for love and ended up flushed down a toilet. A salutory lesson.
