Not sure what it is, but my 2.5 year old daughter keeps pointing at the laptop saying "I don wike him" but when I close the window she says "lemme see da spider"

[milkmania]

I haven't been able to identify it through google images

and I'm with her.....I don't like him either:rant:

[redmike]

I'd like him if he were smashed on the wall!

The pics kind of distort the size, how big was it???

[sassydog]

better hope its not a brown recluse!!!

[tommcat]

the way i identify them is easy. once they have fur i dont care what they are, they just need to die

[stevo137]

C'mon ladies, spiders are our FRIENDS! They eat insects and -- in this case -- small rodents :eek:

Wolf spider is more likely the type of spider.
Brown recluse is a bit different looking.

I agree though, it's better off dead!

I agrew with wolf spider. See lots of them in the corn fields up here in late summer.

Whenever you get the cool nights it seems like they start to appear in the house somewhere. I agree with wolf spider, they are pretty harmless but fairly agressive.

They are quick little suckers, aren't they? Can jump pretty fair too.

I recommend a size 10 or better shoe so that you are sure not to miss them. :D

I remember taking a girlfriend out in our johnboat when I was a teenager and a Wolf Spider about the size of a softball walked across her lap. Neeless to say she tried to tip us over literally climbing up me to get away. Of course I made sure to feed that pet spider for the help.

I miss that little guy.

Got this in my email a couple of days ago...a picture of a Brown Recluse and what a serious bite can do:

Thanks for the great examples of why Terminix gets our 35 dollars a month!

That is totally nasty.

Got any pictures of the nice scar that you get to keep as a memento?
