re: What type of spider is this?

Back segment is too round for a brown recluse. Not a brown widow either. Need a better picture.

The OP needs to know what happens if he doesn't torch it.

You know what you need to do, OP. Time's ticking.

I'm not sure if this picture is any better

It's def a brown widow.

Front legs longer than other legs and those dark places at the leg joints.




Here's you a wikihow on it. Go on and flip him over if you are feeling daring.

WikiHow 3 Ways to Identify a Brown Widow

ETA: I guess it could be a house spider too. IT would just be a dead spider if it were in my possession.

that picture is much better - you can see that the legs are relatively short. I would say that it is a false black widow though the legs are kind of short.

They rarely bite if it is and the bite is painless, though there will be some reaction later.

How big is the spider?

No telling how many hours I put into that game during the mid 90s.

Though the picture is bad, it doesn't seem like a brown widow. The abdomen pattern is too subdued. And, he can flip it over for the hourglass (put it in a glass jar).





These are brown widow abdoments.

Just throw his arse outside.. The only threat that guy is to are the insect flying around your front door.

False Widow

The patter on this one definitely resembles the one on a false widow
