Well, I know what its not and its not a black widow or brown recluse. It still might be able to give you a bite though.

Looks like some kind of variation of a marigold spider.

It won't hurt you!

Go to bed....

Nope, not big enough and no violin mark on the back. Plus it is shaped wrong....

thats good news. I'm still not going to bed till it's found. I went to get him with a fly swatter and i think i bounced it instead. The thing came after me when i sat down. Thats how i saw it. plus i always check my bed before i lay down.

I know...I know. I call them "crab" spiders. When they spread out, they look like crabs scuttling across the beach.

I had NEVER seen one until I got to AR. I guess they don't do as well in the OK heat??? I wish I knew the real name to them...
