Spider id???
 

Not sure. Kill it

Funny saw that same spider on post on Facebook in a urinal with a surprising shadow hanging above it.

Not sure what it is bit it isn't one of our bad ones. If it's not in a bad spot I would leave it alone to catch all the bugs it wants. They are a good thing to have around.

I think they call that a "NOPE" spider

Got a pic of the top of it?

no top pic

Unsure, but resembles the brown widow spider. I tried to match your pic with spiders of Louisiana, and it may be a color variation of the brown widow.

First thought was a male brown widow spider. Cant see enough of it to make the case though

Pretty common in south LA

Looks like an "Orchard Spider" to me....

Looks like a winner

thanks

My dad called them Garters...they eat other spiders and bugs..we never killed them, but they can and do bite...some have fangs in excess of a 1/8th of an inch...I am not afraid of any snake, but I loathe spiders...
