Dysdera crocata- Woodlouse Spider
This spider was in my bathroom this morning. It is a woodlouse spider, and only has a mild bite that may cause blisters near the bite.

Crane Fly
Here is an interesting bug that happened into our house today. This is called a Crane Fly... although I knew it as a "mosquito catcher" and it is sometimes called a mosquito hawk. It is not a mosquito, nor does it prey upon mosquitoes. In fact, the adults do not eat at all! It can not bite, nor can it sting, although it does appear to have a stinger it does not.
