PICS of a cool-looking spider I found in the kitchen sink!!!!!!

[ScoobMaster]

A few weeks ago my wife yelled for me to come remove a spider she found in the kitchen sink. I thought it was neat, so I captured it and took it outside for some pics:

Spider pic 1
Spider Pic 2
Coming at ya in "attack mode"

I posted it in a forum with some highly educated people (including an entomologist) and it was identified as a Woodlouse Hunter (Dysdera crocata). It attacks and eats pillbugs!

*EDIT*
Cool - I just found a pic of one CARRYING a pillbug!

Quick, call Syringer.

Hear that?

It's the sound of Syringer rocking himself back and forth while sobbing.

*shudder* I hate spiders! Skoorbie would have peed himself if he had seen that!

(I say can those things about him now since he is not posting here lately!)

If my camera didn't suck for close ups I'd get some pics of the scary looking spiders in my area. Brown recluse, black widow, wolf,etc... The southeast has tons of spiders.

Hey, which forum did you post this in? I need somebody to identify a bug I found the other day.

The forums at the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF)

I posted in the "Science, Mathematics, Medicine, and Technology " forum. Ask for help from "Bug Girl" in the thread title - she is very helpful.

Yeah, same. I think that's a pretty common name for them -- my gf also called them that.

Because your nose is similar to a kitchen sink? 😉
