I have seen these spiders before and never known what they were, and while I don't usually assume the worst, their markings have always disturbed me a little, which is why I didn't handle her/him for the photo. This species seems to be vaguely mimicing the coloring of both the brown widow and the recluse. I know it's neither one but I'd still feel much better if someone could help me figure out what it is. Sorry I couldn't get a clear shot of those ittsy bitsy palps, from what little I could ascertain of their shape I think it's a male, but I don't want to get close enough to find out for sure until I know what it is. He/She was found in a shower.
Pleas Help?
Be Well and God Bless,
Mamata
