Can Anyone I.D. This Spider?

[nickp50010]

This spider was last seen on my computer desk. He is very fast.

Very dark brown if not black. The spots on its back (hope that is the back) appeared to be clear/white/yellowish. Top of legs appeared to be brownish. Halfway down appeared to be red.

Thanks for the help.

It's probably just a wolf spider...

FML.

Big enough to to scare the crap out of me. 1-2 inches?

Hope it is just wolf spider too. Didn't look like one though (thought they were tan/tan).

Wolf spiders have a bunch of different colorings... definitely should squish the heck out of it. OR catch a centipede and the spider and put them in the same jar. "Thunderdome!"

Looks like you need that spider killing spray stuff. That will stop the little bastard in his tracks....

garden spider?

 

[nickp50010]

So, I have read three articles on them, none of them say if they are harmful to humans or not.

For all the manly talk and general chest-bumping and wiener chatter on this board, I still crack up when panic sets in because someone stumbles across an insect or spider.

That's it. That picture is way better than mine. Those colors were pretty much what I was seeing.

You're racist.

I don't care what color of a spider it is. Don't like them. Did you forget the ? Towards humans? No.
