I have no idea what this is. Found in my shower at the SAME TIME there was a Dark Fishing Spider in the shower. This was the THIRD spider I found this evening in my house; had seen NONE since last summer.

Herpyllus Ecclesiasticus, This is an Eastern Parson Spider. I’m sincerely jealous! My deliberate searches for spiders have been very disappointing this year and I go out in the night with a flashlight every night looking for them. I’m outside all day too.
I guess the question is, how are spiders getting into your house? I want them to come right to me too. 🙂
This is an Eastern Parson Spider. I’ve had at least 2 in my house to my memory. Read here for more. Also, Google different pictures of them.
