Comments & ID Thoughts
I found this spider in my bathtub this morning. Its length span is between 2 to 3 inches long. It has some hair on it too. I've never seen one like this. I'm from the Fingerlakes area of the state of New York. Can someone help me figure out what type of spider this is? Thank you

Does anyone know what type of spider this is?
This is a funnel weaver, probably something closer to grass spiders than house spiders.
The boxing glove palps, this is a mateur male, so your size is not far off.
All of the funnel weavers are quite harmless.
Thank you for the information. He looked very intimidating to me when I first saw him.
No doubt, but when you get to know the larger spiders, you realize how harmless they are. Giant house spiders can get to 4 inches across the legs, huntsman to 5 inches, but people actually handle and play with them. Quick buggers and can give you a start.
