Can anyone identify this spider?

That looks like one of those ones from Arachnophobia, you know, you get bit and you die, kind of spiders.

I'm still going with my Brown Recluse theory but you gotta look at the bottom of the abdomen before you swash them.
Then they crawl out of your body and look for their next victim. :eat:

If it was squashed flat, it would be a good spider! :220v:

We have had a lot of spider discussions this year :idea:

That one sure looks close to the Brown Recluse :supp:

[koolbreeze]

a brown recluse can be easily identified by the "fiddle" (you know, violin) shape design on its back. if you look closely at picture of the brown recluses back you can see it. thats why we southerns call em "fiddle backs".

Let it bite you. If it hurts REAL bad and destroys the tissue for an inch around the bite, you have a Brown Recluse.
Just trying to help,

The body coloration of this spitting spider should immediately disqualify it as a potential recluse spider even though it has the recluse-like eye pattern. (photo by R. Vetter ©)
Spitting spiders (Scytodes spp., Family Scytodidae) are taxonomically related to recluses, are non-poisonous and probably often mistaken as recluses throughout the U.S. They share the same eye pattern (Fig. 5), however, the several known species have black stripes and/or maculae on the dorsal surface of both the cephalothorax and abdomen which should quickly eliminate them as recluse spiders (Fig. 6). In addition, in side view, the cephalothorax is definitively humped (Fig. 7), an anatomical modification necessary for housing the large spitting glands that are only found within this genus.

My neighbor in Havasu has identified that thing as an Arizona Sun Spider. He said if you get bit by one of those things it feels like getting stung by a wasp. OUCH... You can do an internet search on Sun Spiders and can read some more info.
