Are you talking about a Brown Recluse? If so, they are plenty dangerous. One bite and I believe the enzyme in the venom starts a chain reaction that decays the skin around the bite area slowly if not treated immediately. With the Recluse you cannot let the bite go. You have to immediately ice the bite to isolate the venom somewhat and seek medical help immediately.

good rule of thumb for the brown recluse is a violin or cello shapped dark marking starting from between their SIX eyes and going back towards their abdomen. a brown recluse is seldom aggressive unless it is really really close to something that is threatening it. the name recluse says it all. i have been bitten three times by these buggers. they are usually skittish. how big is it this might be a very good clue

Highly unusual to find a recluse in Colton.

I'm not sure, I'm going to look it up in my Audobon book when I get home.... now you'll HAVE to come over this weekend to get a positive i.d.! It kind of looks like the big wolf spiders I have around my house, they get pretty chunky!!

It's kinda cool though... better catch it.... or it's gonna catch YOU!=D

Erm ... that is NO brown recluse...

As you can see on the pics here (http://images.google.nl/images?hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=brown+recluse&sa=N&tab=wi&lr=), you see that the recluse has much longer legs then the spider pictured by you.

That is most definetly NOT a brown recluse.

[Malhavoc's]

YEs I know its not a brown recluse! but thats not telling me what it is!!! its got orangish read legs and a red cephlathoorax plus a light brown abdomen... grr I wanna know where it is and god its fast oh and its got fangs about the size of a beez stinger

[Hairyspider]

hope this helps in the quest to find out what kind of spider this is

[mdfic]

there are quite a few different types of wolf spiders. some have yet to be identified and most are quite defensive. be careful their bite isnt bad but if you are allergic it can be painful. if its cephalothorax and abdomen are as long as they are wide then it is most likely some sort of wolf spider. i will post pics of the one i caught at work and is currently under my care if he will hold still.

[Malhavoc's]

*rolls his eyes thinking this is of no help* I cant tell you what its not. Its not a wofl spider species it doesnt have the eye site to be such. most likely a trap door or funnel web spider but what species?

[superkillers]

Looks like it could be Dysders crocata, they do look like little tarantulas.

[Phrurolith_J]

Your spider could very well be a wolf spider of the genus Allocosa. This genus isn't incredibly hairy like most wolf spiders and does not have eyes as big as you usually see in this family. The abdominal shape is incorrect for it to be a trapdoor spider, and its spinnerets aren't long enough to be a funnel web spider.
Hope this helps, J.:)

[Malhavoc's]

I looked up some pics and its most deffentily a "Dysdera crocata"

[Poecilotheria]

There are also different Loxosceleus species in existence. Might be a juvenile of the name that slips my mind at the moment, found throughout california I beleive.
