Nifty! Looks like a tarantula from the genus Aphonopelma. You are absolutely right about the bite Cindy. If he felt like it he COULD bite, but it wouldn't be dangerous. They're really pretty docile though. Looks like a small male, but there's no way to know for sure until they're big.
I'm very glad to hear he was put outside.
Thank you Wolf_Q!
We miss you, Graham
Yep looks like a tarantula to me. I've never seen one in the wild although they don't scare me at all. Bees, wasps and cockroaches scare me to death but I have actually had a tarantula crawl up my hand/arm and it was the coolest feeling ever. I love them and I find them lovely and fascinating. I'd love to have seen that in person. I keep wanting to find a tarantula in the wild. There are none in Michigan so since I've moved to TX I'm always on the lookout.
Glad you didn't kill it. They have a tremendouly long life span and it would be a shame to end it needlessly.

Yes, luckily there wasn't even mention of killing the little guy (I've since named Harry). My fellow animal lover was out at a meeting when this happened and she was very glad we set it free too.
Catherinedana, I am in the East Bay area of California (Livermore to be exact), although I live in Concord, CA.
caseysmom, I didn't know we had these here either! But my supervisor has children that live in Fresno and she said around October each year you can see hoards of them going through the cotton fields between Fresno and surrounding areas.
I was so excited to be able to see this today. It made my Friday!!
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

I am so lucky I didn't open the picture. OMG I DO NOT know how you just stood there, I would have cried. Spiders are the most disgusting things in the world to me(aside from chewed gum, yet another weird phobia). I actually have a video of my reaction to a spider less then half that size on the wall in my house. My friends thought it'd be funny to tape that.

Cool! I think I would have been tempted to bring her home and see if she would eat in captivity. I used to have a rosy hair tarantula. She was actually very sweet.
I have never heard them called "sprickets" and had to look it up. Seeing the picture, I know what they are, though. Indeed, nasty. I do NOT like crickets or grasshoppers, not AT ALL. Give a me a tarantula any old day!
However this is the most horrifying insect ever, IMO, at least in my part of the country. We call them "sand puppies" here, and I have a positive phobia of them.

I actually thought about keeping it, but I didn't know how to care for it and didn't think it was fair to the poor thing.
Oh potato bugs!!!

Ugly does not begin to scratch the surface. I think they are actually alien probes, sent here from another planet to scope out the best way to take our the world.IOh potato bugs!!!
They are beyond creepy. Ewwww, ewwwww, ewwwww!

Yes I have to agree the potato bug is ugly but
I agree, earwigs are creeeee-py.
Hard to tell from the picture but kinda looks like a Fishing/Nursery spider to me. Either way it would really creep me out to find that thing indoors. I've been finding enough big black spiders in my basement lately. *shivers*

that's what I was ging to say, it looks like a baby one. I have seen one and it is bigger than that and black, just the body alone is the size of your fist, at least, not counting the legs.

Years ago I had a glass (dark glass) of soda sitting on the floor next to my chair and when I went to take a sip I noticed something mixed in with the ice. It was an earwig (pincher bug is what we call them). So I almost drank it

Best picture of a Fishing Spider I could find that is close to the view of the one you posted.
