    Anyone know what type of spider this is? I live in southern Ontario. Might be harmless but I have no idea.

    That looks kind of like a Tegenaria Gigantea. It's common names are Barn Spider or Giant House Spider. The are totally harmless.

    Not a brown recluse? My friend in London was bitten by one a couple of weeks ago and she literally had to have surgery on her leg.

    The only other kind it might be (in my very limited knowledge of arachnids, but I did stay at a Holiday in Express last night) is a wolf spider of the family Lycosidae. There are a lot of different types of wolf spiders and they are also harmless.

    I defer to your obvious arachnophilia!

    I kill about 50 brown recluses a year in my garage. I can tell you that it isn't a brown recluse.

    Well now, I'm not sure then, they looked very similar in the picture but I'm sure there could be a few that look alike enough to mistake it.

    And of course after seeing this post this spider was in a dream I had last night. I squashed it over and over again but it WOULD NOT DIE!!

    Even when its abdomen came off and it was just a head with legs, it kept crawling around in my basement... ugh...
