They are quick buggers. They love to hang out under surfboard bags.

Wolf Spider flashed into my mind and this is what came up on the search.

But quickly your ACC kicked-in and did the comparisons and let you know that your entire history of dangerous spiders was with the animated kind. No problem, cancel the EMTs.:lol:

As a home inspector I got quite a few spider bites. Even the Vieuda Negra isn't really THAT bad. A big red welt the size of a baseball with a wound in the middle that didn't heal right for a month in my cases. I still give them a lot of respect. They are very common here.

Wrong names, people. His name is Ralph and we all call him a Palapa spider. Won't say he is harmless, but to my experience not aggressive. Buena suerte!

Small spiders like that always bring you good luck. You can expect a letter soon in the mail with good tidings.
