    Can someone please tell me what kind of spider this is ? I've seen a couple about the size of a quarter. Spiders wig me out.
    Thanks all

    Screwloose , see if you can see a violin shape on the bottom of the chest. We have VERY similar looking spiders here but they are not brown recluse. I bug bomb the garage and attic and below grade water pump bunker. Ewwww.

    Looks like what I call a water spider. That’s not a scientific name.

    Either you got rather close to it when snapping that pic, or you taped a pair of binoculars to your cellphone.
    And then ran screaming like a girl, with the adrenaline and fear overwhelming your concern for your knees.

    Where did you find the spider?

    Our spiders looks almost exactly like your pic, they are NOT poisonous.
