    Spider Identification

    First off I couldn't find an off topic forum, so if you need to move it feel free.

    I have found a cool spider in my house, and I was wondering how to identify it. Do you know of any tools online or off, that will help me find out what it is.

    If you are curious here is the pic.

    I don't particularly like them either, but if they're small, as long as they aren't bothering my I let them live. If they're huge, they die.

    Almost the same with me, if they're small I get a paper and move them outside but if they are large (as in fat) or really big I get my shoe... and you know what happens next.

    It looks like either a Wolf Spider or a brown Recluse. Where do you live?

    I have to agree it looks like a grass spider.

    You should watch pumpkin spider wars. When I lived in CA there was a field next to the house full of brush. Spiders everywhere! The body (minus the legs) is about 2 inches.

    I'd say Wolf spider. Brown recluse looks nothing like that.
