please identify this spider

Spiders and scorpions, jesus. Do you have walls on that house of yours?   

I'd suggest having an exterminator come out and spray the house. Apparently spiders breed very quickly and it's quite possible you have a small infestation. Also, if you can try catching one of the spiders next time you see one. Maybe the exterminator can tell you what kind it is. The easiest way to catch them to cover them with a glass and when they start to crawl up the side remove the glass and cover the opening. It's best to have a taller glass, that way you have more time before they crawl out.

I had an exterminator come to a house that I bought once (it had been empty for months) to get rid of all the spiders around the exterior.  There was a huge black widow on the porch and this nut case exterminator said it was one of the biggest he had ever seen.  So he took a pencil and got it to crawl on the eraser then he dropped it inside his half empty pack of Camel cigarettes, then folded over the top at put it back into his shirt pocket.

I had nightmares after seeing that.

Crap, I didn't know we were keeping score, but I have to agree, the knee is..................grosser??

[♣ McKraut ♣]

that's not from the spider bite is it?  looks like Dan knee 

no, it's my right calf muscle vicinity and it's from my clutch.  i'll post up a more comprehensive slide show at some point to give a decent start-to-finish of the whole thing, for anyone wondering what might happen when your leg gets sucked up into that spinning wheel of billet and bling on the right side of your engine.

Looks like a brown recluse to me. And your leg looks nasty. Have you been going to the dr for follow ups?  I'm gonna dig up an email my mom sent on brown recluses. I'd post the pics up here but no can do from the iPhone

These two showed up on our back porch. They are working together. Any guesses? The first photo is one spider, the next 2 are the second spider taken from 2 different angles.
