laid down in bed, when suddenly...

[LightningCrash]

One thing I did not do was look at the eyes. I'm aware of other spiders that may have a violin-like markings, but none the same exact color and physical attributes shared by confirmed fiddlebacks.

If you see the picture I shared earlier in this thread, all of the supposed fiddlebacks I've seen in my house the last few days look exactly like it, just different sizes.

I see on the Wikipedia that one of the closest resembling spider is a cellar spider, only because of the violin, but otherwise looks nothing like a brown recluse, in my opinion:




I also saw the Southern House Spider linked above, which are similar, but with slender bodies and uniform coloring. All of the spiders I've seen have darker, rounder abdomens.

Some of the crevice spiders look like fiddlebacks,

Some of them will have a wider stripe than that, it's hard to tell when they're moving 400mph across your bed.

we ordered daemon wp, should be here soon.

all spiders suck. fiddlebacks, widdows, wolf spiders, pretty petal flowery ones. They all deserve to die. We keep our attic dusted, baseboards sprayed, and so much crap on our lawn that any spider making it into my house is pretty much bionic and to be feared

Thanks for all the "spiders in the middle of the night" stories and pictures you guys posted. Now I'm not gonna be able to sleep. You are all a bunch of buttholes. I knew better than to look at this thread. I can handle snakes, wild animals and whatever but spiders suck because they can rot your face before you even know you've been bitten

those thing give me the creeps.
I use the tri fold bug traps. They make a little triangle that is open on each end.
I put them behnd the tolets, the devans and in the closets.

You would be surprised how many of them things you will catch in a month.

I got spider bit perilously close to my lady parts a couple of years ago. The resulting abscess and treatment thereof (or lack of, depending on how you felt about my POS PCP at the time) resulted in a hysterical thread here. Much fun was had at my expense. It was a hoot!

I burned every single piece of clothing I owned as a result of that thread.

Well I may have been jinxed by this thread.
I came home from work later than normal and decided to do some weed eatng to get that done so I could mow tomorrow night. I WEed around the house, shop and then around a junk pile I have out back of the shop. Junk pile is actually a treasure trove of stuff that would cost a lot at the store if I had to buy it but stuff I;ll likely never need. Old timbers,old wire fencing, T post an old muffler that has few miles on it that I kept in case I needed a muffler....etc. The kind of place where critters might live.
I finish and come in the garage, grab a beer and head in to the laundry room to take off my dirty cloths. The wife greets me and we walk to the bathroom talking about the day. I grab th Braun and shave while I tell the wife about my day while she turns on the shower to warm it for me. I get done shaving, walk to the shower and step in. The shower head is pointed away at the wall and I adjust the heat down a bit when I feel a little tickle on my belly. I brush my hand across my belly and feel something about the size of a big spider and quickly look down to see it hit the floor and spring to life again and start chasing me around the 4'x4' stall. Yep, it s recluse. HOW THE F*CK did this get on my belly and what were it's intentions?
I sprayed the house 3 days ago but maybe I carried it in from outside?
I wanted to cry like a girl but since my wife was near I instead said "HA, take that f*ucker"! The sound of my sniveling was drowned out by the shower noise I think.
I still cant figure out WTF this spider came from and how it got on me without me knowing but it freeked me out!
I hate these spiders!
