I just captured one that was crawling on my wall by my bed. I tossed him outside.

How big is the spider? I know you had to zoom in, so it's hard to tell.

Including it's legs it could just fit on a quarter. I think the thing is still hanging around because I blinded it taking pictures of it. :p

I would have to agree, it looks like a brown recluse. If I remember correctly If you get bit and you don't get treatment... you skin tissue start to be eaten away..... I saw it on TLC and it isn't pretty. EWWWW!!!!

Thats not a brown recluse, they are a little furrier looking and have a clearly defined "fiddle" on the front torso. The bottom of the fiddle/violin starts at their eyes and goes back.

No clue what that one is, but it doesn't look menacing to me..........:)

I know the feeling.... I would rather come face to face with a pack of wolves than one creepy bug.... Damn 17 yo and afraid of bugs....

The creepiest have to be jumping spiders with those two big eyes flanked by two smaller eyes. Tried to find a good head-on pic quickly and could not. Though I did find THIS picture.

It makes me think of M$ swooping in on a promising start-up :)
