Think this is a spider? Well, you're right.

But what spider is it?

 

[AgentDrex]

Seriously, I'd like to know what this is...its very tiny...fast...and is not scared of humans...it jumped right at me as soon as I took this photo...got a nice little jump for such a small spider...I'm sure it jumped at least 3 or 4 inches...although I didn't hold it...I would imagine it was the size of a man's pinkie nail...

Spiders... they make for cool pictures... But when I am shooting spiders... I use my 75-300 at max zoom... I HATE them thar arachnids.... I admit that I am an arachnophobe...

Sorry I don't know what kind that is...

 

[AgentDrex]

Oh, come now, it was just a LITTLE itty-bitty, teeny-weeny spider...now this dead wolf spider was HUGE...thankfully it was DEAD...otherwise I may have had to become arachnophobic for a little bit...:

Another arachnophobic here and when I read the "jumped at me" I was swathed in goosebumps. Thanks, lol.

 

[AgentDrex]

Are there any ideas as to what kind this is and/or does anyone know of any forums I could post this "snapshot" to that would house people in-the-know?

"Frank"

I was thinking "Mortimer"

 

[AgentDrex]

I was thinking it was a Black House Spider as well, but they seem to be larger than this was unless this was immature...and it WAS taken inside...well...a covered porch anyways...thank you for all the help...

I too have arachnophobia...now I won't sleep tonight - thanks!

Which camera are you using for these pics? I tried taking photographs of really small spiders that appearing at my house (and i do mean really small) but all those pic were blurry. I have a standard Sony Cybershot.
