Well I found this neat looking orange spider in my house, and I dont know what it is. I tried looking it up with no luck. Its super aggressive and jumped on a cricket right away when I put one in. Anyone have any clue what it is??

Thanks guys. I found it about a week ago and its a pretty neat little spider. Fast, and pretty aggressive. It molted the second day I had it.

Hmm so its a mystery spider for now. I can get more pics if it help? It does not web at all and is always sitting on the wall of its little enclosure.

Yes, it does...

Anybody can look at the pictures in google of this spider. It is exactly like yours.

Here is a page in google where you can see a picture of the spider Psaurid:

Nevermind, the page where I took the picture has all the species wrong. The guy is saying that a Lycosidae is a Ctenid. Eventhough it does look exactly like your spider. Where are you from anyway? Maybe a picture to the eyes would help.

Hehe, and this is the description of the picture in the link: "Unidentified spider; perhaps a Wolf Spider (Lycosidae)"

And btw, sorry crpy, but I think that's a P. mira too :P
