Ya, that's what I'm thinkin'. Hard to tell size from my pic, but you can see the texture in the bottom of the fiberglass tub. Those little dots about the size of a needle tip, so you can tell the spider's small. I didn't see any violin pattern on its back, so I'm assuming just a house spider.

I sprayed it with Raid that night & it promptly shriveled up & died. I'm a DEATH DEALER!! :D:cool:



Now, as for that camel spider crap??.................Homey don't play that!!!!!! :shocked:

Anyway..........this is in So Cal so I'm assuming it's no Brown Recluse, but was just curious as to what type it was.

Last time somebody here pointed out to me that I had found a "Pill Bug" spider in the yard. (Eats "Rollee Polleees"). That sucker was beautiful with a kind of translucent red in it.

This sucker, I have no idea. Nothing too distinctive about it.

Good luck!

Oh............here's the SPIDER!!!

if it's the size of a quarter it's not 'pretty small'

If you look closely at your pic and then <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://images.google.com/images?svnum=50&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US<img src=---i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif--- border=---0--->fficial&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=camel+spider&spe

Considering the body's about the size of a grain of rice and the legs fully stretched *might* span a quarter.........if you consider that "not small" then here's your "ATOT Arachnaphobia" sign!! :D
