What kind of spider is this?

[Riomouse911]

Many moons ago I worked in a pet store, and we sold a few of the "camel spiders" as "wind scorpions". If I remember correctly, they're related to spiders and scorpions, but they arent really either. No venom, but a nasty bite, aggressive, and when they get to running they are so fast you can't keep up. (Rumor had it the native folks said they "run like the wind", and the name stuck). I found one in my garage here in Norco about a year ago that was about 1.5" long.
As for the ugly-ass clawed spider from CT, I have no idea what that is, but they're all equals with a can of RAID in my hand.

That would be the North American Big Black Bastard species. Or NABBB spider. Not to be confused with the NAACP-NABBB

I can say with 90% or so certianty that is not an orb weaver. I have orb weavers all over my ranch. BIG ones! Saw one last year that I thought was a humming bird caught in a web. Almost 3" long.
I have never seen one with legs that full. Although I have seen ones with very similar coloring, almost identicle.
I dont kill them unless they are close to walkways or by the house or shop. They supposedly eat an enormous amount of insects.

PS- Did you ask any neighbors?
