Here in oregon we have the "Hobo Spider" they call them a "Hobo" because the spider caught a ride from Europe into the Port Of Seattle... the spider has branched out as far north as British Columbia, as far south as Yreka, California and as far east as Utah...

Same principle as the Brown Recluse, it rots the tissue... they are ALL OVER here... I have about 200 in my yard right now under rocks, in between shit, yadda yadda.... 50/50 chance it will be a venemous bite if you're hit..

I've seen em as big as about 1 1/2 inches...

Ugly little critters.. cats love to play with them...
