Here in the Pac. Northwest we have a real nasty critter, the Hobo spider. You don't want to get bit by this guy. The results are similar to the recluse.

Well, I know the posting is a little late, but I can tell you about the first picture! I can certainly tell you that IT IS NOT A CAMEL SPIDER!!! Hahahahaha!

Tegenaria Domestica or the "Barn Funnel Weaver". Painless bite and Non-Venomous/Poisonous.
The Big yellow and Black Spider is the St. Andrews Cross spider. I like shooting them with a pellet gun.
The guy that mentioned the Hobo spider is correct. Nasty little buggers. They are in the same genus as the Brown Recluse.
I hate spiders. I got bit by a HUGE St. Andrews Cross spider when I was a kid. Now I will cross the room to kill one. Bees are spiders with wings. I kill them too. I'm allergic to Yellow Jackets....Maybe I should just keep an eye on everything black and yellow.

Around here in N. GA we always called the black & yellow spiders w/zig-zag in their web "Garden Spiders" .Note--you always tell a Brown Recluse Spider by the "Violin' shape on its back right behind its eyes & mouth its very distintinctive it will be a darker brown than the beige type color around it;Hence I call it a "Fiddle back" spider .. BEWARE!!

I like the garden spider! I used to catch them in my grandpa's garden when I was a kid. They make the coolest webs!

I thought I had it bad from being stung five times from scorpions while in bed last year. This year, I have been treating the house every month and have found 27 scorpions either dead or dieing in the house. Luckily none have tried sleeping with me this year.

Yeah, I've been bitten by scorpions here in Florida. They think your a big warm rock until you move and then wham! Worst was at 3am stung right over my heart on my chest. I do have a remedy for the brown Florida scorpion that works. Make a paste out of baking soda and water thick over the bite and I've even covered it with gauze the bites will go away completely by morning in some cases.
Talk about spiders? I dug one up by the Suwanee river that was living in the ground IT was the size of a SOFTBALL! it had long thick legs and fangs you could visible see It WASN'T a tarantula. My dog went up to it (a Chow) barking at it and the spider held its ground It was meaner than a dog! I wanted to capture it and take it to the University of Florida but I could not find anything I could put it in it was huge and didn't want it jumping on me. I seen it a few weeks later in a gopher turtle hole about 200ft from where I first encountered it.
I kinda felt bad I disturbed its home. I think it was eating lizards, small birds and mice there was small bones where its hole was.

the belly of the brown recluse has a brownish reddish fiddle type marking --wolf spiders for the most part are not dangerous really their bug hunters --a brown recluse however is very nasty their bite will cause the flesh to rot and to stop the spread it must be cut out --quite nasty buggers

I was bit by a black widow lots around here had to get tetnus shot and it felt like I had the flu for 6 months. I grabbed a doorknob to put a key in it and it was on it bit my finger. My brother was doing some work under a house and got bit his whole arm swelled up and he had to have iv antibiotics for 2 weeks. Watch out for the black widows.

Lol funny thing is my wife just got bit last night in bed by something on her arm. It looks like a mosquito bite and itches like crazy but not hurting. In our house since we've moved in we've fight ticks the first week, now it's stink bugs and spiders. In our other house it was maggots and flies, mice, and every ant you can think of. the maggots happened because of a open window and it rained on a piece of cardboard and then got hot that's all it took. Went to the kitchen one night about 2am and felt something squish and the floor was alive!!! We fought them for the whole day, by the time I found then they were in every room. Lol I'd take all over the scorpions and tarantulas!

so called" banana spiders" are of the orb weaver family of spiders -- fairly harmless --bite is like a bee sting , so unless your "sensitive" to them --not that big of a deal really ---they do get large and make big webs ---to some folks they are very scary looking.

mr rich --look up "mouse spider" most likely a very large female you found -- quite large nasty fangs --bad bite
