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.
We only have 2 kinds of spiders here that are poisonous. But we have some really icky looking ones too
I guess I would have my son take him out too.
I was out yesterday moving a few pot's around.I saw a spider that look's like that and it did jump.I scooped it up and made it jump across the yard LOL
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.
MY son put it down the embankment for me, I couldn't stand looking at it anymore, It was white with a pattern on it's back YUCK is all I can say.
riverdog my son keeps telling me to get a lizard for the greenhouse, I might just have to take him up on that.
