Look what I found in my house! · 04:49 AM

Not sure what it is but it is definitely a spider

Those who know please ID it, thanks!

Great sharp shots! I am not sure on what spider it is, but it is very interesting. Insects are so fascinating; especially when observed so close. Thank you for taking them and sharing!

Depending how big that thing is, one of us would be moving out!

That is one strange looking spider. Great capture.

Don't worry, I don't think that this species grows to be much bigger than a handball ...

Seriously, nice photo. I'd do more critter-shots, if it wasn't that insects up-close gives the CDFO (Chief Domestic Finance Officer) the creeps, and I want to make sure that future budgets contain photo-gear

It's a brown crab spider of some sort. You can tell by the shape of the body. The common house/yard variety, not the bigger tropical ones. Those are a different species. There are quite a few varieties. Most don't spin webs but there are a few that do. I see these outside a lot. We have a variety that does spin webs apparently around here. They like flowering hibiscus shrubs like the ones we have around our house.
