Anyone want to ID a dead, small spider?
« on: July 31, 2011, 01:40:01 AM »
This little feller ambushed my tinfoil hat, so I zapped him with the electrified tennis racket lookin' thing.
Can anyone ID the ugly thing? Just out of curiosity.

Looks like a brown recluse. It has the "fiddle" behind its eyes.

Did it have 2 or 3 banks of eyes?

No idea, I tossed it in the trash after I zapped it.

I'm in Colorado if that helps at all.

In all seriousness it is very ugly now that you mention it, and sorry but I couldnt find it in my grand database of spider species that I keep around.

It's about the size of a nickel?

It's harmless.

It was also the fastest spider I've ever seen, and smelled great on fire.

Judge based on size, I'll have a chuckle when you experience a bite from a dime sized venomous spider  :D

Black widows, brown recluse, don't bother me any.

Wife's buddy nearly lost her foot to a brown recluse. But she was a dummy and didn't treat it proper.

I tried to bring a fat wolf spider to the house, Ol woman yelled at me until I took it away. (let it go on the porch, don't rat me out.)

I'm a fan of spiders.

I living in Alaska played with daddy long-legs as a kid, and still do from time to time.
That is as big and 'scary' as they got, almost like puppy dogs.

The ones down here move like killers, I dislike them much. I do like, however, the sound
they make when they're hit with a good snap of electricity  :t
