What kind of spider is this?

Yep... Those are "spider bros". They are completely harmless to humans, do not make any webs that get in the way of things, and they pounce and eat a shit ton of nuisance insects, including other spiders and cockroaches. A lot of folks actually obtain them and keep them around for this very purpose. Ultimate "green" pest control that actually works...
brown recluse
the answer is always brown recluse.
the answer is always brown recluse.
We have the Louisiana variety here, mostly seen, or heard, around camp fires.
First where is all the fire and two why dont we see the bottom of your shoe.......
By no means a spider expert but I would make an educated guess it is a male Phidippus audax . Common name = Bold Jumping Spider. It is the most likely and widespread jumping spider in North America.
It would be a dead spider if my wife or daughter came across it
I catch other insects just to watch these spiders stalk and kill them.
"Spiderbros" in action...
Another fun fact about these badass critters... Even those people afflicted by SEVERE arachnophobia somehow do not get upset or frightened by these particular spiders. Many psychiatrists use jumping spiders for that very reason to condition their patients to gradually overcome their arachnophobia, with good results...

actually ultimate green ... I let three ' tokay gecko's ' loose in the house once for few years . you will rarely see them, and they will scurry and prowl threw your house all night like a vacuum cleaner and eat anything that moves from the 'cealing to Floor ' anything they can fit in there mouths from spiders to small mice you will never see .
.
Those are no joke,been in the hospital since Friday from one of those little assholes.
Enjoy. I spent 3 days/2 nights in the Louisville VA Medical Center because of one last year. Thought i just had a fever for a couple of days till the wife noticed the red streaking up my arm (blood poisoning). My blood pressure was low enough to cause the nurse to panic. Spent those 3 days getting 4 or 5 antibiotics pumped into me until the fever broke. Ironically the worst part wasn't even a symptom. The nurse traced the redness out on my arm with a marker to see if it was getting worse or better. Ended up looking like a giant dick was drawn on my forearm for the next week.
I was in the ER within a few hours of being bit, it happened that quick.
awl its a bed bug lol , crikey isn't she's a beautiful little lady spider .
just because its funny

Having been bitten by numerous spiders that "dont usually bite" I have an overactive case of arachnophobia.
These little guys though, ain't skeered of them. They are harmless unless you are a bug or another spider. They are hunters, not little sneaky fuckwads looking to bite you and run....like the rest of the spider world.

Years ago we had a spider with a big web between 2 tomato plants in our garden. A big green MFer.
Every evening when I got home from work my 3 kids would pop a top on a coolie loolie and hand it to me then take me to the garden.
Once there we would get our stumps and a chair in place and the kids would go catch a grasshopper and bring it back and throw it onto the web.
When the hopper hit the web and there was movement the spider would dash put and kill on the hopper and spin webbing around it and park it somewhere around the web. Entertained us for many hours that summer.
It was amazing how fast and efficiently that fucker worked.
I have no idea what kind of spider it was and, we only had it that one year.
If I could get another one like that I would be on it like Blue Bonnet and have them all over the yard.
They are fun to watch.

So you just have little piles of gecko shit everywhere?
Those are the F'n worst. I damn near lost a foot, to one of those. Lost a toe instead. F those things. The only good spider, is a dead one! Mac
We get some in Cali called orb weavers and they look like king crabs. They make the most picture perfect spider webs.
@ op, common jumping spider. We have them all over the yard.
Probably a golden orb weaver. These things can be HUGE, up to the size of a quarter, but they are also relatively harmless... Their webs can stretch across narrow roads though and I've heard of ATV drivers and dirt bikers who ran face first into them, got surprised and lost control of their vehicles. No one hurt in the resulting spill out though...
Was it something like this?
When I worked at the Colorado Boys Ranch, I had some kids I would take walking on the mesa, when they were good and got all their work done. Which was everyday I worked because they wanted to walk around on the mesa. We would catch grasshoppers and throw them in the hobo spider webs. They make little funnel webs down low, under yuccas and stuff. They look almost exactly like a wolf spider. When the grasshopper would hit the web, they speed out bite, and run back in. The grasshoppers would die almost instantly. Literally, a 1 Mississippi, of twitching and done.

It bent that pupe into a 3, its trying to communicate with you.
Now yall giving me the heebie jeebies.
Yeah these cute little dudes are actually full time badasses. I never kill them when I see them because they eat all the other bugs that I don't want around. I'll even take them and put them in my garden if I find them around my property.
Every junky who walks through an ER with a shooter abscess says “Brown Recluse”.
According to the leading entomologist they dont live in CO, so unless you “brought them in” from a place they do, not that ever.
Had some friends years ago who had a nasty mess of them in their house in Kirkwood MO. Enough the state health dept got involved....
they turned into nutjob fruitbat leftists so havent spoke to them in years. Oh well!!

they like to use the tupperware container full of coffee beans as their litterbox.
I once considered using a community outhouse over in central asia.
I didnt mind the tiny torn up pieces of newspaper which were intended to be toilet paper.
But before I sat my ass on the wooden bench perched over a dark pit, I lifted it up on it's hinges, and there were about 20 spiders on the underside around the hole.
I still have nightmares about what would have happened if I dropped my junk down as I started to shit, and had black widows spring onto my dick and sink their poisonous fangs in.

It’s the kind that my wife and stepdaughter would have a heart attack seeing from across the room but I wouldn’t notice unless it crawled into my arm.
Another little guy that is totally badass is a praying mantis. If you get a few praying mantis & let them go in the house, they’ll kill every insect that moves.
Years ago, a buddy & I were cleaning guns in his shop. A mantis got stuck in black widow’s web. The mantis got caught in the web & aroused the spider. The mantis played the game til the widow got close. Once the spider was almost on top of the mantis it broke free from the web. The mantis took its time eating the widow one leg at a time & then opened the abdomen to eat. It ate the head last. My buddy told his kids “I’m going to wear y’all’s asses out if I catch you killing any praying mantis.”

Everyone who has any bite get necrotic or infected blames a brown recluse too.
Found him again today still in the kitchen but on the blinds. Decide we're keeping him. Naming him Peter. 
Just got home today,gonna have a hole until it heals over.
Or go to wound care if it doesn't
