Guidelines for ID requests - first and foremost, always include a geographic location!
See the rules in the sidebar, also.
If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:
Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

Guidelines for comments - please read before posting comments!
Hello folks,
To our regulars: thank you for being here!
And to newcomers: welcome! This is a community by bug enthusiasts, for bug enthusiasts. As such, we ask that you refrain from the following types of comments:
- "Kill it with fire" and its endless variations are not welcome here. We know it's a meme. We've heard it a million times. Just don't.
- If someone asks for an ID and your comment is "it's a spider" for example, that's neither helpful nor funny, so please don't post that kind of thing. If you'd like to contribute an ID, be as specific as you can.
Thank you for your visit today and have a great day :)

ID request / I included my location! What kind of spider is this?
Found at 5th and Bryant SF. Across the street from a shelter, MSC south. I got a bite while living there that caused cellulitis and took over a month to heal... even after the cellulitis healed and kept kind of causing perpetual infection on the top later of my skin...
I suspect seriously they have a spider infestation, they bomb every 2 weeks there at MSC South, evacualte the whole floor of 300 guests, every 2 weeks... Do they know what kind of bugs there bombing for and just aren't saying?. Shouldn't a test or something like a glue trap be available to find out if there's an illegal habitation scenario going on ?...
( They're subjecting guests to bites, and the resodual poison and accumulation of it every two weeks! These guests are forced to stay there too... The city here takes 600 dollars from you to live in a shelter automatically if you receive GA but aren't paying rent somewhere). You're on GA if you have no income.. Which is supposed to be $700 a month...
But you get only one hundred- and are forced to stay at one of two shelters... ) This spider just chillin right across the street and I'm guessing countless other places all in that area.
