    What kind of spider is this?
    My brothers and I found this spider in the room and have a hard time identifying it, you can check the link below.

    We took a picture of it and this is as close as we could get(with zoom) as we were too scared to get any closer, and we killed it.

    Can anyone tell me what kind of spider or bug this is?
    Oh and when we squished it, there was a black liquid substance EVERYWHERE, it was gross.
    ALSO, I just found this pic of a camel spider and the look relatively similar, is this a match?

    I don't think that it is a camel spider but I'm not sure from the picture, but maybe a wolf spider.

    To me it does look like the camel spider. Your picture is a bit blurry though, so that's a guess.

    Here's a picture of a wolf spider, one of many different types of wolf spiders;

    Oh my god if I saw that I'd move to another town and never return. *twitchtwitch*

    ... it does look similar-ish to me, but do you actually live where Camel Spiders are from? I wonder if you could Google "spider species in [location]" and cross your fingers?

    There is also the possibility it's some sort of alien or hellspawned species that will devour your soul in the night, judging by the looks of that thing *twinge/gags/runs crying*
