All spiders are "venemous" to some extent. Looks like maybe a wolf spider

I agree. I said the only three venomous spiders in the US are the Brown Recluse, and Black or Brown Widow, which is incorrect. I should have stated they are the only three who's venom is potent enough to create a significant risk of necrosis and more. I appreciate the clarification.

From the looks of it, if it is one of the few venomous spiders here in the US, it ould only likely be a Brown Recluse. I am not saying it is a Brown Recluse , just that it certainly isn't a Black or Brown Widow which are the only other two that are venomous in the States. Here is a video from You tube for a Brown Recluse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lwuItwsyP4

Regardless, as everyone else has already said, the particular spider in the picture won't be harming anything ever again. To quote Cousin Eddie, "If that thing had nine lives Clark, you done spent em all".

Im im not even from the states and I know you have more than 3 venomous spiders. To my knowledge
you also have the hobo spider , which is a house spider which uses necrotic venom . Looks to me from the picture that this is a hobo spider.

Not sure where the OP is from, but hobo spiders are generally confined to the Pacific Northwest here in the USA.

It's a little hard to tell from the pic but it looks most to me like a harmless male wolfspider, I saw male because it's tiny, not very fuzzy, and it's pedipalps are swollen. They go wandering to find mates. I don't think it's a brown recluse because they are wispyer looking, with smaller body to leg ratio. I lived in a house once with a horrible brown recluse problem. went to go to bed once, flipped back the blanket to get in and there were two right below my pillow. D:

Well, if you are going to be anal about it being venomous, might as well go all out. Yes, it is venomous. All spiders are venomous. Every. Single. One. The real question is does the venom pose a threat to a human. And that I can't help with.

I am just scared okay. I moved into my first apartment after seeing this I'm just scared there are more. Yeah I know I sound like an idiot. I don't know what I am talking about. Before I decided to go searching the internet I figured I would ask here since people on here seem to be quite intelligent.

Congrats on your own place, exciting stuff!

We were just having a bit of fun because of the forum section you placed it under it was very out of place and then it was a very dead spider that you showed us. So that paired with you asking in a simple way if we could help was just to much and we had to have some fun with you. All questions are welcome but some of us can be a bit silly.

I would relax. Judging by some internet research, that doesn't match up to any spider that poses a serious risk to humans. To ease your mind a little more, here's a handy ID chart to spiders in North America.

Wolf Spiders are very handy though, since they're known to hunt and eat Black Widows and Brown Recluses.



And YES GUYS, I know it says "poisonous".
