Help me identify this spider

[xgerstandtx]

Watching a movie with the wife and this guy is just cruising across the carpet.
My wife panicked and squealed. Help me identify this thing so she will put her feet back on the carpet.

its just an ol Grass spider, nothing to worry over"thumbsup"

you'll see them ALOT during the summer months after you cut the grass, but they are normally much larger than the one in the pic:mrgreen:

Thanks man, I posted up on a 4x4 forum and they are calling it a brown house spider.
I should have put a quarter next to it. It was about 3'' pretty good. Thanks for the quick response man.

what ever kind it is, glad its dead!

Not too fond of spiders, if the wrong one bite's ya, lots of bad things happen.

almost looked like a brown racluse.

hahaha My wife was spitting the same thing, "it's a brown recluse, get the cat away and put the dog is his kennel, I'm gonna sleep in the car'' It was pretty awesome

I am going with the fact that it is a brown house spider, apparently pretty common in western washington. This guy was catogorized as a "normal" size the giant ones get up to like 8 inches. pretty damn silly.

Thanks for the help guys like always."thumbsup"

I'm guessing wolf spider. Not a recluse.

Wolf spiders are fun to play with, they can jump pretty high.........

 

[TwistedCreations]

yeah it looks like a wolf spider..I'm guessing it is the ones that make those little trap doors and are fast as hell....


Was out cutting the grass not too long ago and came across this spider..Have no idea what it is..It kinda acted like a crab as I got near it..fugly looking..

 

[NoobCrawler]

That's the best kind of spider...a dead one!

Wolf spider

and its cousin the Funnel spider

I don't mess with spiders unless they get into the house or onto the porch where we spend a fair amount of time. If its a wolf spider, it usually gets squished. If its a funnel spider, it gets shoo'd back into the flower bed.

The easiest way to tell the difference is to look at its backside. Since wolf spiders are hunters and not web builders they don't have the web spinning equipment hanging out the back like the funnel spiders do. "thumbsup"

Kill em all!

Looks like the one had an elbow blow out. Kill it!

 

[ghtpdm5]

you're lucky entropy, mine loses it at daddy-long-legs too. i don't know how many times i've seen her coming running out of the shower because of one little one.

Spiders like to drink brake cleaner.

I totally understand the need and balance that they provide. But being a rare individual that has been bitten by two brown recluse and being in the middle of a tarantula migration when I was 6ish, woke up with one on my chest "shiver" I really dislike and don't care for the little bastards.

Have fun iwth your new pets vonclod
