Not a great macro image, but does anyone know the name of this spider? I found it in my basement last year.

It's a Red Cross spider.

Very deadly...

arrrg ... lol. Have to fix it (in a password protected folder on my Smugmug account).

All I remember is that it made a mess when I squished it. Sorry, but spiders are only my friends when their outside my house :)

It's definitely NOT a brown recluse, if that's what you are wondering. It has eight eyes, instead of six, and no violin shape on its back. And I agree with spidermanbryce2006, it probably is a Tegenaria domestica. (external link) It is an accidental import from Europe.

Thanks spidermanbryce2006 and drevilsmom!

Was actually concerned that it may be a Hobo spider.
