He was hanging out on my front door. I know the pics are the best but maybe you'll recognize it? It was kinda fuzzy/furry black and white. Between dime and penny sized.

That's a wolf spider, harmless. Black widows are hairless and very shiny. When you see one, you know..

Thanks y'all. I knew it wasn't a black widow! He got a pass since i didn't know what he was. Ran off to somewheres.

Harmless as in "I can pick it up without it biting me," or harmless as in "It will bit, but your arm won't rot of at the elbow?"
Please clarify.

Thats a jumping spider and harmless. I pick them up all the time and never bit. If you check him out you will see he/she has some really cool green eyes.

Those spiders love deer stands ! Nice place to make there warm white sleeping beds . They are quite the curious little things but absolutely harmless and fun too watch . If you listen closely after sunrise when the sun comes up and it warms up enough they come out and you can hear them rubbing their little fangs together .

They are cool to watch "hunt." And they are quick little guys. I had one in my lizard cage that would eat the bugs that got in.

Those little guys are welcome in my house. I sat and watched one in my gun room as it stalked and killed/ate a cockroach. They're like little Ninjas where cockroaches are concerned.

It's a Black Jumping Spider. And, yes, they are harmless.

Re: ID this spider - 10/24/12 08:29 PM
I'm sure they'll still bite, Just not venomous.
