Face shot of the Salticus scenicus I uploaded just now. Again, pardon the image quality, but this was the only decent image of the distinctive jumping spider eyes I could get.

Awww..... Always loved jumping spiders. They always have that puppy-dog-begging look..... Glad to know the scientific name for it! Judging from the pedipalps....... It's a male. 'Course, I've never got to identify with this species, so it's hard for me to be sure.... I judge the sex depending on if the pedipalps have some kind of bolbous end, indicating it as a male because, while mating, the male deposits sperm, sucks it into it's pedipalp tips, and in turn, deposits it into the female....... My gods..... What am I going to do with this information at a convenience store? DOCUMENT the "mating dance" of the spiders behind the register?!! I am a useless nerd......
Nah, I just know where to look to find them. And this one is actually the only one I've found so far in my own apartment - all my other spider finds have been from either my parents' home, or taken when I've been travelling. Though I sure would appreciate a house spider in my apartment... Then maybe the flies that always seem to find their way in when I have the balcony door open would stop buzzing around my head when I try to sleep
Sweden, and the dangerous spider would be Araneus diadematus, the one right here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4139514/
And you'd have to be rather stupid to get yourself bitten by one of these. They're orb weavers and never leave their big, beautiful webs, so the only way you'd ever piss one off enough for it to bite you would be if you tried to pinch it or something.
