Spider ID

Hi, what spider is this, doesn't seem to be the normal rain spider ?

 

Found one yesterday in the house. Was hopping around. also curious to know

 

Just scared as it does look a lot like the violin spider

 

Photo is a little dark to tell 100%, but possibly a Nursary Web spider. Definately not a violin or dangerous to humans or pets.

Will either be part of the Sparassidae family, or Pisauridae. My bet is on Pisauridae.

Go to http://www.biodiversityexplorer.org/arachnids/spiders/mug.htm if you want to read some more.

 

Looks like a type of rainspider to me (brown huntsman?).

Violins look something like this i believe:


Should rarely find one in the open as they like warm places.

Well this one is much smaller and lghter , as if it has a redish colour , might be young but ill check the site. As long as its not poison spider

 

Hi.

If you are still unsure, you can e-mail Norman Larson (Honorary Associate Arachnologist, Iziko, South African Natural History Museum) on avellopsis@telkomsa.net. He is an Arachnologist, and he might be able to give you a more definate answer.
