I’m pretty sure it’s not a brown recluse because I can’t see a violin on the back but I’d feel a lot better if I could figured out what it was so I could be certain. It was about the size of a quarter, probably a little smaller. ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/spider.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/spider.jpg) ---

> [@Avatar](#): > > I’d feel a lot better if I was squishing that little bastard under my boot! It was squashed immediately after the picture was taken. If it is a brown recluse though I need to talk to an exterminator, even though this is the first spider I’ve seen in the house in over a year. Brown recluse bites can be real bad. ---

Read about them. If they go untreated yes they can get really terrible, and painful. It like makes the skin decay and it just keeps on going. ---

The other day I killed the biggest spider I’ve ever seen in this area. I walked into the shed, saw it, and ran away like a little girl. It ran under the lawn mower, but I still sprayed him with some good bug killer. After I was convinced he was dead, I scooped him up and put him in a ziploc. 30 minutes later the legs started folding back out like he was coming alive:uhh: The whole bag went in a mason jar. Looked like that Brown recluse but darker, but I was told it was not. I still sprayed some chemicals in there and shut the door. Fuck spiders. ---

i found some hairy black spider with huge fangs and white stripes in different spots around its back. ive never seen one like this before so i saved it to try and find out what it is with no luck. seems like this year the spiders in buffalo are getting bigger and nastier. ---

> [@misteroman$$$](#): > > Wow are all bites really that bad??? Yes they can be, I had one bite the outside of my left ankle. If my last laptop hadn’t crashed I would post the pics.

my ex`s dads got bit by a brown recluse. It took them a while to figure out what was going on. They actually had to cut a chunk out of his leg and grow new skin over it. It was pretty nasty. And he lives in cheektowaga. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-kind-of-spider-is-this/50440.md?page=2)
