Confirmed Range of The Hobo Spider - Tegenaria agrestis

That bugger does look familiar. But that black widow is the one that really triggers my phobia. I remember the exact incident that created my arachnophobia when I was about 6 and it involved two black widows just like the one above.
Dangit! Now I’ve got the creeps before bed, and I live in Washington State, and I have seen MANY of these. Crap! I HATE SPIDERS!!! Hubby had one JUMP OFF THE WALL onto his ARM in the middle of the night one time. Said he woke up, saw it on the wall and thought...no way can that be in here when Shawna wakes up! (I love my husband, BTW!! :) ) Told me the next morning about it JUMPING off the wall onto his arm, still freaked me out, but was glad I wasn’t awake!
