My spider is black and white with four legs and eats ants
It is in my mums room in Thailand and is fairly cute
In my opinion. I just want to make shore it is not dangerous because we like it and even called stripy

Please post a picture.

A four legged spider? Doesn't sound right to me.

A picture would definitely help.

Technically, it needs 8 legs to be a spider... can't be classed as a spider with only four legs unless the other four got ripped off somehow.

Can you post a picture of it? There are many, many different species in Thailand.

Yay!! Here comes SpiderMan!!

I was just thinking about what could be confused as a four legged spider... an Argiope maybe and they do have them in Thailand. Argiopes often sit with their legs paired up. I am not sure why they do this but I have seen it. They are also often striped. I need to look for pics now.

My little friend has just run under the bed but I will get you a picture as soon as I can

Does it look something like this?

I am grossed out (although I try to never kill spiders around my house) but kudos to odinn.
