Last year I found a massive spider by my front door that a couple of people in here identified as S. florentina. It definitely died (my girlfriend is pretty arachnophobic and before it was identified here had convinced herself that it was dangerous and might kill our cat...) but almost exactly a year later, in exactly the same spot, down to the brick, another one of the exact same spider has made a home. Is there any explanation for this other than it being a good spot for whatever reason?
My girlfriend isn't happy but I've convinced her that it's not going to murder the cat and that we should just leave it alone. First photo is the new guy, second photo the one from last year.
