Comments & ID Thoughts

No idea what this is except nasty. I’m in Michigan and it’s 20 degrees and haven’t seen a spider that gave me the willies in a very long time but this one did the trick. Just ran across floor from of course area I sit on the couch at……no clue what it is and I can’t look at it anymore or I’ll have nightmares for eternity

This is a woodlouse hunter. Quite harmless in spite of their apperance and impressive fangs. Most people would catch them with the glass and paper trick and escort outside.
