It's home is above our kitchen sink and we don't know what it is, don't want to have a dangerous spider in the house with a baby around, need to know if we can leave it so it keeps flies down, or kill the fucker asap.

o dear.

you should evacuate asap.

knowing where you live and a clearer pic would make identification much easier

That's a facehugger.

took about 10 pictures with cellphone its as clear as we could get, and we were almost touching it :( sorry

live in Northern Iowa, 5 miles from the Minnesota border.

put it in a glass jar and let it go outside

looks like a common house spider, known as cobweb spider or comb foot spider - not dangerous

could be a crab spider, especially since you found it on the ceiling - not dangerous

I'm assuming its the house spider based on its color.

could be a jumping spider?

Kill it first then try to figure out what it is.

Awesome, thats good to hear, I've decided tomorrow I'm just gonna catch it in a container and spray the thing with bug spray to kill it and any babies it has. Don't want to risk it biting the baby and hurting her even if it won't harm us.

Nah, not that, I know it's not.

Taste your urine. If it's salty, the spider's safe. Really! :thumbsup

who was the gfy'r that died from a spider bite a year or two ago?

fuck i hate spiders

yeah looks like a spider, just smack it.

smack first ask questions later

to all you who said smack it, don't read well do you? its possibly has a sack full of eggs, smacking it means hundreds of little spiders just like it all over the place... smack = big no no.

i can totally relate to what you are saying...

i smacked the shit out of this girl one time and a baby fell out of her pussy....

I will not about argue with you on this one :winkwink: :1orglaugh

Just use some card and a cup or something flat and a container and then remove it outside.

I also would not be spraying any bug spray if your that worried about the baby. Look around and see if you can see an egg sack. Typically looks like a small piece of cotton caught in the web. Or better yet after you remove the spider just get a paper towel that is semi damp and just remove all of the webbing. Throw that away outside.

You'll have that. :Oh crap

Get the bastard outside

damnit i thought this was gonna be an SEO thread lol

make the spider feel doctor octopus is coming! lol

It's a old Potato, save as long as you don't eat it!

It's an arachdanus dil pietro, named after the man who discovered it in Italy.
I would catch it and release it far away from home.
It is probably full of eggs so you better act quick...

jesus.

"maybe it will kill my baby... or maybe it will just eat bugs... not really sure what to do"

sounds like a great bit of parenting goin' on over there

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yep thats definatly a spider.. better get rid of it

We get those in webs that go from the tree branches up to the house here. Walking around the yard at night is NOT recommended lol. Although they are pretty harmless. I leave spiders where they are for the most part. I'd rather have them eating mosquitos personally. :) Be glad it's not one of these. I snapped this pic after I killed it and posed him all nice and purty for the camera.

It is a brown recluse. We got them everywhere down here where I live in NC. Got these fuckers too. Cowkiller ants (which actually aren't ants at all, they are a breed of wingless wasps) Sting on these things is incredible so I've been told. They can kill elderly and kids lawl. Things don't die either. You can SOAK them with raid and they keep on truckin'.

Oh, did I mention that brown recluse was on the side of the toilet bowl right by my leg as I was pinching a loaf? I had to break it mid turd so I could get up and kill that thing lol :1orglaugh

This fucker scared the shit out of me a week ago as I was cleaning a bathroom downstairs. Went to move the shower curtain and seen it move inside the tub. Took quite a bit of raid to kill it. Usually we get wolf spiders in our window wells as they are 3.5 ft deep and they can't get back out, but never have seen something like this inside the house.

The picture was taken from the other side of the tub as it was at one end. Not zoomed in etc.

go away troll, i'm all for insects, they have a purpose on this earth too, if its not harmful, im not gonna do shit, my first reaction is whats it gonna do to my daughter, i came asking knowledgable people, not for some sig whore troll to call me a bad parent, so fuck off. :321GFY:321GFY

Geek... :1orglaugh

it's a black one. careful. they can detect fear

your question stemmed from concern for your safety of your own child... which was totally offset by your concern for whether or not the spider might eat bugs.

its pretty simple parenting math.


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Call a bug guy

Fuck that Josh, burn you house down and run... I hate spiders

It's spider-man's illegitimate offspring, he had this fling with a trapdoor spider once and she dropped about a million babies. You should see the size of her welfare check.

I know, fucker baby could hurt the spider.

the only good spider is a dead spider

looks like a mite id have to see a clear photo
