Daughter brought in a small spider,was about 1cm in length but may be young so adult size may be bigger.
The top of the main body was white ,with 2 pencil thin reddish stripes on.The bottom of the main body seemed dark possibly black,can anyone shed some light on what type it is.
Love spiders so have put it at the bottom of our garden,we often get spiders in the house but have never seen this one.
Hope you can help identify this,as i would be very interested to know what it is and how common they are.

Possibly a comb footed spider.
