I found this spider crawling out of my old laundry basket last year.
It ran out pretty quick. I caught this in 2007.
I could never figure out what it was though.

it was only about an inch long and had a oily looking carapace.
(Sorry for the bad quality, i was using a webcam.)











It laid a sac and it hatched. The babies were small enough to crawl under a closed lid.
I had about 200 slings crawling on my wall.
A week later it laid another sac and the same problem occurred.
It laid another sac, things was getting a little out of hand so placed it near a neighbors house with the lid opened.

THanks! it seems like the spider i was looking for. These were pretty interesting
at the time.


And yeah, my neighbors are pestering at times. I can't even open the window
for some fresh air because they smoke too much weed! :wall:
