Can Anyone I.D. This Spider?
This spider was last seen on my computer desk. He is very fast.
Very dark brown if not black. The spots on its back (hope that is the back) appeared to be clear/white/yellowish. Top of legs appeared to be brownish. Halfway down appeared to be red.
Thanks for the help.

It's probably just a wolf spider...

FML.
Big enough to to scare the crap out of me. 1-2 inches?

Hope it is just wolf spider too. Didn't look like one though (thought they were tan/tan).
Re: Can Anyone I.D. This Spider?
Wolf spiders have a bunch of different colorings... definitely should squish the heck out of it. OR catch a centipede and the spider and put them in the same jar. "Thunderdome!"
Re: Can Anyone I.D. This Spider?
Looks like you need that spider killing spray stuff. That will stop the little bastard in his tracks....

So, I have read three articles on them, none of them say if they are harmful to humans or not.
Re: Can Anyone I.D. This Spider?
It is harmless to pets and humans..

"These spiders lack poison when biting humans"?
I still want it dead. The hunt continues. Thank god it isn't a brown recluse.
