Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.

    I don’t know where in the southern U.S. you are, but definitely look up the dangerous animals for wherever you are living or visiting. In Florida, there are only 2 common dangerous-to-humans spiders, I believe: widows and recluses. There are a few snakes. Alligators are obviously dangerous, but you’re likely to know when you’re in an environment where alligators are likely to be. There are, of course, a number of potential dangerous marine animals. Stay safe, my friends!

      Yeah pretty much this except black widows are pretty uncommon indoors and theyre really skiddish. Mostly only hang out under logs/rocks, so you’re unlikely to run into one. Recluses love indoors and are violent fuckers. OP is super lucky he didn’t get bit honestly.

        They are somewhat uncommon indoors, yes, but you do still see them in enclosed places like sheds and garages. I’ve also seen one hanging out at a gas pump. Of course, there are also lots of widow mimics out there that are pretty harmless to people.
