  Sharing its borders to the North with Scotland and to the West with Wales, England is a part of the United Kingdom. Containing such famous seaport areas such as Liverpool, Newcastle and sections of London, this country is also home to many different species of spiders. Residents living in this area of the world can run into the tegenaria gigantea house spider that contains the features of a small tarantula.
  
  

Money Spider

• Usually found in the woodland sections of England and in resident's garden areas, the money spider averages about 1/2 inch in length and retains a deep brown coloring. Containing a bright white marking on its abdomen section, the money spider weaves its web very close to the ground and will wait patiently for hours to feed on small flies and other insects that get trapped in its web. The female spider will hatch eggs annually around May and each young spider is equipped with a black-pyramid marking on its back upon hatching.
  
  

Raft Spider

• The largest spider found in England with a body length of about 1 inch, the raft spider is also known as a fishing spider because it can be found in water areas where it likes to rest while looking for its prey. Feeding on insects and small fish, this spider extends its legs into the water to sense the vibrations caused by an oncoming fish or insect. When it feels the prey is close enough, the raft spider will lunge for its victim across the water in order to devour it.
  
  

Zebra Spider

• Located throughout the England region crawling on window ledges, fence posts and other outside locations, the zebra spider uses its silk threading skills to anchor itself. When spotting its prey, the zebra spider anchors its web to an object and will then lower itself over its victim and will bite down on its prey using its small amount of venom in order to paralyze it. With the ability to jump almost a full 4 inches from the ground, this spider is also known as a jumping spider.
  
  

Wolf Spider

• Rather than using its webbing skills to trap insects and other types of prey in a web, the wolf spider attained its name from chasing and leaping on its victims in order to feed upon them. Found in the wooded sections of England, the wolf spider is a little over 1/2 inch in length and is equipped with silk-producing organs called "spinnerets" that are situated in the spider's stomach area. These types of spiders will also burrow into the dirt in order to jump upon its prey and will hide from predators this way as well.
