I hate spiders and after long time I saw one today inside my house.

Any experts here?

I'm not an expert at identifying spiders, anymore than your expertise at photography.

Just kidding! Your little guest appears to be the American House Spider - (Parasteatoda tepidariorum). This little guy is common to the southwestern States and is harmless.

It looks a bit like a wolf spider.

A bit too shiny for a wolf spider, but harmless nonetheless.

That may be, but they aren't.

It's a Mimbossum spider, relatively unknown but one of the deadliest spiders in the world. They don't carry much venom but they are deadly en masse. They love carpet and upholstery. They can lay thousands of eggs as they walk across material, the more coarse the fabric the better for them. They have a gestation cycle of only three weeks and procreate autonomously. Once in a house they populate geometrically...before you know it your couch, carpet or pillow will be engulfed in the babies as they all hatch. They tend to hatch at night and head straight to warmth, that means pets and people will wake up covered in them! Fortunately they tend to only do this to gullible people though...

For those who read this and are not paying attention to anything except the scary words, he is KIDDING.

Spider bites are nasty to deal with. Almost as bad as fire ants. No matter what kind it is get rid of it.
