Unknown Spider - Scytodes thoracica
Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
May 20, 2007
Size: Body about 3/8"
This spider was found in my bathtub today. I'd say the body was about 3/8" long and the whole thing was a little over an inch long. I checked the online guide here but couldn't find anything. Thanks as always.

Spitting Spider
I think this is a Scytodes thoracica. Compare with images here.
