This is Gertrude, I think she's a Isopedella victorialis (Victorian Huntsman). Or she's a juvenile male lol.

She's been keeping the top floor of my building clear of insects for the last week or so. Until this morning when the cleaners came - I think she got sucked up 😭 anyway, in possible memoriam, Gertrude; the finest pest controller on level 4
