Found this spider in my green house, my DD had a fit and wouldn't come back in. My son says its a jumping spider and it is HUGE. I had him remove it as I didn't want a customer to end up with it in a plant I sell, LOL. It gave me the creaps and I kept looking for it while I worked in the greenhouse with hopes it wouldn't jump on me.

Does he have green eyes? Hard to get a good look at him as it is so dark. And nothing to rate his size against. He could be a mouse spider which you do not want. They can be very dangerous. Can you get a better pic with some color?? Also you can put him in a jar and your ag agent should know exactly what he is.

That is a jumping spider, you can tell by the metallic looking fangs. I've seen some that are an inch and a half long. Eucalyptus is great for keeping spiders and some other insects to a minimal, they hate it. Or do like me and get one of these guys to stand guard in your garden. ;) As you can see, he eats well.
