what kind of spider this is?





Serious, a friend of mine near Spokane found it in his house and wants to know what it is.

Hold fast by the river.

Does your friend not have Google or an IQ sufficient to research it himself?

How rude! And I thought someone in the training business would be more helpful in answering questions from people who want to learn.....

Looks like a dead spider to me!

I could have sworn I have seen this pic somewhere else in the last few days with all kinds of answers. Did your friend post it somewhere else?

He posted on FB on the 8th Infantry Division Veterans page.  I don't think he posted it anywhere else, unless someone else reposted it looking for an answer.

He does but the "answers" that came up are not spiders native to the area.

I live near Spokane.

This spider looks like an import.

It's not a hobo spider, a wolf spider, or a brown recluse (those being the most likely local baddies).

I await identification with interest.  I will not be sharing this with the wife.

I think, but can't be positive, that it is a cat faced spider, an orb weaver. A very beneficial spider to have around the house.

Strong legs.  Some sort of jumping spider.
