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

Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

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

Ewwww, yeah, hate earwigs too. One time I went to water my grass, and the sprinkler wouldn't work properly. So I turned the water off, and took the sprinkler off the hose to see what was wrong. Turns out, it was FULL of earwigs!
When my son was young, he asked, "Mommy, why do they call them earwigs?" (He was so scared of them.) I said I didn't know. He said, "I bet it's because a long time ago people didn't take baths much, and they wore those big wigs, and I bet those bugs lived in their WIGS, then crawled into their EARS." Smart kid!! And SUCH a disgusting thought!

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I HATE EARWIGS!!! We had a lot of rain a couple of years ago and those things were in my gutters and several fell down on me when I opened my front door. They bite! (I'm starting to itch now. I've got to stop reading this thread.)Originally Posted by Twisterdog

This does look a lot like the spider that was in our office. Only it was fatter than the fishing spider. And the two "things" coming from it's face were longer, I believe.
