Well I sure am glad you didn't die! he is rather ugly though! ;)
 

...... yet.




Just kidding... you have been bitten by a southern house spider or crevice spider, Kukulcania hibernalis, frequently enters homes and causes concern when mistaken for a recluse spider. Southern house spider females are larger and darker brown than males. Larger than recluse spiders, they have eight eyes all in one cluster, and lack the recluse’s violin marking. This spider’s distinctive web can be recognized by webbing radiating outward from a central lair built in a hole or cavity. Southern house spiders are common in old barns and undisturbed buildings.

Great picture!!!!!
 

Me too!!!! I am now on my way to change my under drawers!
 

we're all glad you didn't die, :'(,
Mean looking spider.

Fossis............
 

My wife was bitten by a recluse. 4 days in the hospital to save her finger. Bad news!!!
 

Thanks for the replies.. I was hoping someone would ID it for me..there were hundreds of them in the old shed I was taring down for my father in-law.. I took some pictures of them and then I got bit on the back of the neck.. Didn't hurt, as I think it may have been just tasting me.hahaha... Scared me a little when I saw it was the same thing that I was taking the pics of...Tuff weekend as I was stung by a bee twice, got some chiggers bites, the spider, and a few fire ants too....

Sorry to hear about the recluse.. They are bad news...
 

I don't want to be bitten by no spiders, no more, no more!! :(

;) RR
 

Looks a lot like that poisonous one they have in Austrailia..nice pic though....
