Found this critter while doing some landscaping. Any ideas?

I had to post another pic for comparison. Brown Recluse? Wait, you're in Montana, you don't have brown recluse, you have "aggressive house spider". http://ipm.montana.edu/YardGarden/docs/spiderbites-insect.htm

It may just be when they are older. The more aggressive ones I saw were about the size of a 50 cent piece were very hairy and had a black and gray tone to them. When I do see them I just leave em alone, they keep all the other critters away.
But then again I have these to deal with anymore where I live now so I nuke the place from orbit every 3 months or so. |
I have been hog hunting in Guam the past few weekends and they have some fucked up looking spiders out here. I'll be moving through the jungle and between some vegetation and trees, these things will have giant webs, probably 6' in diameter all over the place. About a half dozen times a day, I'll find my face 6'' away from one of these things as I'm walking....
The cellphone pic doesn't really focus well, but including the legs, they are about the size of my hand. I'll bump my face straight into their webs on occaision too. |

The ones in Okinawa that were fed regularly got freakin HUGE. Saw one eat an Anole/Chameleon (lizard) once. Actually heard the fangs crunch through the skull. Freaked me rightthefuckout. Naturally, some other retarded Marines decided to throw rocks at it, destroying its web, which now meant we had a large, angry, homeless, lizard eating spider on the loose.... IIRC, they are legitimately some type of weaver spider. Related to the ginormous (technical term) ones in Australia that are in videos all over Youtube. Don't think they are poisonous....never let them get close enough to me to find out. |

Looks like a small Wolf spider This... Eats other problem children bugs, spiders.....good to have, although will freak you the fuck out by accident. Let it go outside. it was outside in a pile of rocks....along with a bunch of its siblings leave it outside then. Its family will munch up undesirable bugs in the surrounding area. They build funnel type webs in plants etc. Ambush predator. |
