This would be the second installment of Spiders I've found in my bathtub. I took some shots with my captive subject before putting this long legged wanderer in the basement where it belongs.

The common name is Long Bodied Cellar Spider. Only a fairly large spider due to the witdh of it's stride, not really much to it. I couldn't discern the sex.

I would say it is a female, she doesn't have the palpal bulb.
Used to see many of them in parking lot back in Asia.

The easiest way to determine the Spiders sex is to place a bottle of beer to one side of the Spider and a Telephone to the other side and the object the Spider heads for will tell you what sex it is!

Very clever EM. Now, let's see, would it apply exclusively to Foster's and LG? ))
