    Hey guys. There things keep popping up in my house, anyone know what species it is? I have never seen this type before until a few weeks ago. 4th one caught in my house.

    I'm terrified of spiders and this one I caught on the corner of my eye crawling up my leg. I **** myself. Luckily my dad was on hand to cap the scoundrel.

    Here he is.

    Looks like a regular house spider.

    They more around a lot, this time of year looking for mates. The males can be pretty big and scary.

    Yeah I was browsing around the webz, seems like it's one of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegenaria_atrica

    Looks a lot like it, I'm betting with the invasion of flies that has hit my town they are on the hunt. But damn they are freaky. Thanks buddy for posting o/
    The Tegenaria Atrica fear humans and they are more runners than hunters if a human comes close
    Lmao, well that one certainly had some balls then to crawl up my leg.
