It looks like a grass spider
|
||||
|
|
|
||||
|
Or possibly a brown recluse.
|
||||
|
|
|
||||
|
Yeah it is more likely a brown recluse
|
||||
|
|
|
||||
|
Are they dangerous?
|

Brown recluse, I THINK, is about like a bug bite where you get a welt and maybe some pus and then it goes away.
It is basically a common house spider |

They can be VERY dangerous!! We treat these bites in our hospital daily.
I just redecorated my living room and found a mother with thousands of eggs behind my sofa. EDIT** Check out this website to see how dangerous they can be. Brown Recluse Spider Bites However, they are not very common in New York. |

They are VERY common in our area. I find them hiding under laundry, in shoes, etc. They are also nocturnal, that's why they are out and about at night. But the incidence is lower in your state.
I have been bitten by one almost 20 years ago, and sometimes still suffer ill effects. |

Wow... That's scary...
That website you gave me... PRETTY graphic. I can't believe that happened to his leg from that spider! Im going to be cleaning my room today so if I see anything, ill keep an eye out |

Oh I thought that was what I always see in houses
I hope not then My caffeine withdrawl is catching up to me too. :( Come to think of it my son has a spider phobia and they are the ones he is most scared of |

My friend just went through a caffine withdrawl... wasnt a pretty thing.
Im just afraid of all isnects in generals |

Well.. let's not get too carried away here. Recluses aren't common in the northern states (it gets too cold for them), and they are, as the name suggests, shy spiders. And there are many furry brown spiders out there. How big was it? Recluses are pretty small. I'm inclined to think it's a wolf spider, myself.

I found a site that might help
Spider Identification Chart - Venomous or Dangerous? |

|
|

That was a lot of help.
Thanks for that. Pfft. And to think I was going to go to bed early that night. |

Hey... here's an interesting factoid that I head: The average person will swallow 5 spiders in their sleep during their lifetime. I have no idea how they arrived at that number, but it does make you think!
|
||||
|
|
|
||||

I have seen those before. I know they bite for sure, but i don't know if It's dangerous or what not.
