Can anyone help me figure out what kind of spider this is? It is not nearly as big as it looks in the pic. About the size of a nickel with leg span and all. I've seen several of them since we disrupted the quiet hiding places in the house by installing our new carpet.
I am CRAZY scared of spiders and I just want to know that this one isn't going to do me or my kiddo (or anyone else for that matter) any harm. My dad just recently got over a HORRIBLE spider bite and I am just a bit freaked out!!!
Can anyone help identify Fred???

I'm told by two "spider experts", one of which is an entomologist that he is indeed a brown recluse. Lovely.
looks more like a hobo spider than a brown recluse.
