| Hi all, I've just found this little critter in my garage the other day. I think that it might be a fisher spider, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what type of spider it is and if it is worrisome? I'd prefer not to kill it unless I have to, but I have a very small child at home, so I am trying to be careful.
Here are a few more (maybe relevant) facts:
1 - I live in the Raleigh, NC area.
2 - That photo was taken while the spider was on the ground.
3 - The photo was taken at night.
4 - The spider didn't pay me any attention, even though I passed within a foot or so of it a few times.
5 - I know I should have included a scale with it, but I'd estimate that the spider is about an inch and a quarter from the tip of the front leg to the tip of the back leg.
Thanks for your help! |
