Help Me ID this spider, please (Personal)
Jan 3, 2006 | Self

Posted on 01/03/2006 11:22:05 AM PST by pillut48

Here's a picture of a spider that I found under my baker's rack awhile ago--I can't identify it though...was hoping some of the wonderful folks here might be able to help.

If it's a garden spider, we'll do a release into the back yard garden, but I have a 5 y/o and I don't want to take a chance that it's a dangerous spider.

Anyone got an idea what this might be?

That's funny.  I got bit by a spider like that a couple of years back.  It swelled up real bad and hurt something awful and then about two weeks later, all these baby spiders that looked like that came pouring out of the sore.  But I think the two incidents were just coincidental.

I'm guessing a brown recluse. You need an exterminator, quick!

It's the itsy, bitsy spider that went up the water spout.

There's only two venomous spiders in the US and that ain't either.

If they wanted to be released into our garden they'd probably be there right instead of your kitchen. I'd kill 'em where they live.

If it is, brown recluse bites can be dangerous.

Doesn't look like a brown recluse. Does it have 6 eyes in 2 clusters of three? If not, it isn't a brown recluse.

Similar to my story. I had something attach to my face. Later it fell off but while eating dinner that night my stomach started convulsing and this came out. We were able to kill it and mount it.
