I found this spider in my garage, scared the crap out of me! What is this thing? I live in western Oregon. It is on 3/4 inch plywood in the pic. It is missing 2 of it's hind legs, covered with grey hair with a black body, has huge fangs and a white spot in the center of the body and two white streaks on the sides. Any Ideas of what this spider could be? Is it dangerous?
Thanks...

Where in Western Oregon? I'm in McMinnville. The only scary thing to worry about here is Hobo's...but that doesnt' really look like one. Could be just a European House spider.

I live in Lowell, a few miles east of Eugene. I couldn't find anything that looked like it on any websites so I thought I'd post...

looks like a fishing spider to me - was it found near water? something to look into - if it is a fishing spider, it's not considered harmful to humans.
