Spider check

[njdevilsfan87]

What is it? Will it kill me if I get near it? I've seen some giant brown wolf spiders around here, but I am not familiar with black spiders.

it's cool; probably just a bunny with dark antlers

Lock your doors and call the police

 

[MongGrel]

Just name it Snooki.

Already did - police already said I'm on my own with this one. :'(

It would be an insult to a perfectly innocent spider to be associated with a foul, venomous creature like Snooki.

Call them back and tell them it's big, black, and menacing...and selling loose cigarettes.

FML I tried to get it into a cup and it ran around the rim and almost onto my hand. While my life flashed before my eyes, I dropped it, screamed like a girl, and ran out of the room waving my hands. Now it's gone, and I have no idea where it went, and is probably pissed off at me. Well, I guess controlled burn is the only option left at this point.

Spent like 10-15 minutes trying to get the angle on it too and totally failed. Damnit.

That thing looks horrible and there is no way I'm googling images to try to identify it.

 

[Brainonska511]

I'd ask for your stuff for when the spider gets you, but I'd rather not have spider-infested stuff.

 

[KMFJD]

Send in the cat

 

[brainhulk]

I use my salt gun for bugs

 

[UglyCasanova]

That is creepy.

 

[fralexandr]

location and approximate size would be helpful in identification
image appears underexposed/not enough light, making it harder to ID

It's probably a female based on the large rotund abdomen

looks sort of like this Arizona Black Hole Spider

they're typically found around arizona and neighboring states though

Go downstairs, see if a girl will squish it for you.

Based off a web I found, and my location (New Mexico), I would say that is probably it then. I didn't find anything negative about them (so I can sleep tonight) but damn they can get so much bigger than even what I've got running around : http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/sho...zona-Black-Hole-Spider-(Kukulcania-arizonica)

You need to suck it up with a shop vac, then suck up some gas, then light it on fire.

Why use a cup, then you are screwed if they run at the last moment. Unless you're facing a tarantula use the lid of a CD/DVD spindle instead.

Nice, that's some low cost plinking fun there. Check your six though
