Room Spider - Larinioides
Chicago, Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, Cook County, Illinois, USA
July 27, 2007
Size: body is dime-sized
This character came out to play the last night of my stay. It seemed rather shy and tried to hide. The light wasn't good, and the colors aren't accurate. It was more of a light-brown/gray.

Male orb weaver.
This is a male orb weaver of some kind. That is all I can say from an image alone. Males piders of all kinds wander in search of mates, and sometimes blunder into houses.
