Hi, you can upload another pic as a new submission. Just add a note that it is 2 of 2. One can see all of a site user’s photos by clicking the username then the camera icon and scrolling down. It is okay that you killed the freaky spider in the middle of the night over your child’s head. We’ll play Spider Necropsy Investigation. It’s the people who don’t need to kill, but they do and brag about it… you know the way some people act. How did you get a heart symbol into Comments and ID Thoughts?

The other photo was very helpful. I think this is Zoropsis spinimana. It is a spider from the Mediterranean region that arrived in California. It isn’t a Wolf Spider, but resembles one and acts like one. They accidentally get into houses this time of year. The remedy is to transport them to the Great Outdoors and seal the openings in the house that spiders and insects can pass through. I don’t know if there are any documented sightings of the species in Colorado yet.
