Not another Spider thread! (help identify this spider)

[malbojah]

Found this spider (alive) in a case of green leaf lettuce that came from California, trying to identify it before I kill it with fire

 

[Sixguns]

Should have already started the fire.

No gasoline allowed inside restaurant. Now the other choice have, that's another story

 

[Ichinisan]

It's a love and happiness spider.

Kill it with fire.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

It's the yellow lettuce death spider, there's no need to kill it with fire. Just looking at it is fatal, so you're doomed anyway.

Looks like an Orb Weaver. Very cool. Edit: Marbled?

To not be controlled by its orb mind control, you must plant a garden no less that 6ft sq and give it a home. Ironically by doing so you have fallen into to its mind control web.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Came from the far south, it's probably poisonous. Kill it with fire!

 

[Away]

Yep, orb weaver. He's harmless to you, release and let him chow down on flies and mosquitoes.

Just another reason to eat steak...

Not an orb weaver, obviously a crab spider as stated.

While most people may be horrified to find insects in/on their produce, I see it as a good sign. Living things = good.

 

[zinfamous]

Malaysian penis-eating spider.



But don't let the name fool you, it's harmless.

At least it's not a penis-eating crab; those suck, and not in a good way.

I'd be pretty leary of anything with 'penis-eating' anywhere in its name
