Thanks for the post. I live in Caleeforniea (Schwartzenegger) and my gal was bit by a spider. So I checked and checked and found out we did not have them ol' brown nasty spiders.
But, it is good to know they are nasty and prevalent!
So, again, thanks for the post!
My exterminator told me they are hard to identify. THeir markings aren't pronounced and they are usually so small it's hard to tell.
