Any spider bigger than my thumb nail I kill the fuck out of
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;50393420]Literally, the only reason you would need to worry about a spider in America is if it's a brown recluse or a black widow, which are both penny sized and generally non-aggressive.[/QUOTE]
Recluses can be somewhat aggressive, at least more than a widow. Though with the exception of dangerous spiders like those you should just leave spiders alone since they're helpful regardless.

recluses only bite if provoked or tangled in clothes or sheets. they are, as the name implies, reclusive.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50392800]Wolf spiders, the hairy ones with the long mini-legs near their mandibles, can get to be quite large but are entirely harmless. Don't know what yours is so be careful handling it.
The usual way to do it is to get a cup and a piece of paper. Slide the paper underneath the spider, get it to crawl on it, and put the cup over the top. You can easily release it outside[/QUOTE]
What the fuck man do you want him to die ? use a clear glass, once succesfully captured and unhurt, slide the paper under the glass and pray to jesus the spider doesn't escape trough the crack.

They're more aggressive than widows though. In my area I've only ever known one person who's been bitten by a widow and he owned like 7-8 of the things. I've known several people who have been bitten by recluses though.
dont kill it op!! he only wishes u well

They like to hide in the j-arms I have to work on frequently outside so they can all go to hell.

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50393185]well ive never seen a jumping spider irl, or ever saw one in my house, so theyre good 2 go[/QUOTE]
Get a red dot pen, just as fun as watching a very small cat chase after it.
And you will very rarely see a jumping spider inside a house. They're very fond on being outside. But they're incredibly docile and seem to express a lot of curiosity.
As for the OP, no clue what the hell that is. Can't pick out any markings, or definitive features with your potatocam. Don't use the zoom feature next time. Get close to the thing, offer it a sacrifice and it will tell you its secrets.
spiders are cool + kind creatures that should be left to live unless your life truly is in danger
I hated spiders until they started to catch the stinkbugs in my house.
That said, I still smack em out of reflex if one lowers next to me. One is currently testing my patience over my bed.
I actually had a spider infestation not to long ago because I was the only one in my house, and there were tons and tons of them. One day when I was going to my room I saw one crawling on the wall beside my bed and I said I aint having none of his shit and I tried to squish him, but he jumped off the wall and fell into my bed and disappeared. Ever since then, the other 30+ spiders have disappeared...

The wolf spider probably ate them all. They're known to do that
I've been terrified of spiders my entire life. Only recently have I been able to laugh at them and kill them by PUNCHING THEM IN THE FACE
