I found an alive wood louse spider in the toilet, I took it out and decided to try getting pics for Crestcrazy... and it escaped in the house. Apparently they are VERY fast.

Do

b you know what kinda spider?

I think a wolf spider, large dark brown and hairy, about an inch long. They like the basement, sometimes the get upstairs and my kitty dispatches them

I'm always the one to say to pple, "don't step on him!! Its just a Grandaddy long legs, and though they are venomous their mouths are to small to bite you so please don't step on him!!" (saying this while safely moving the spider to a safer area then lecturing the spider not to get to close to those kinda pple)

I'll get you some pics of the cat faced spider who layed her eggs outside our door. If they are fertile they should hatch in Spring... she did lay them pretty late, though.

Cool! I love this thread!! Nobodys saying to "kill it"!! For the first time I am among fellow spider/anyotheranimal pple!
