This spider
I just found this spider crawling around inside my shirt - with me wearing it! I'm not a spider lover. Anyway, I looked online and found this site with this picture. It's exactly the spider I found. I live in New Mexico and have never seen this spider before. Other spiders yes, but not this one. It did not surprise me when I saw where this picture was taken - Pierce County in WA. I just came back home after spending 2 weeks in this very county!
