We have a cousin to that critter here, and believe you me I do not recommend being bitten by it.
I got bit about 30 years ago and do not want to go down that path again.

Did you know daddy long legs are poison but the fangs are to small to penetrate human flesh.
I blame it on Walmart. There's a huge distribution center right behind the house. It's my sister in laws place in Smyrna.
It is reported that the Daddy longlegs support the deadliest venom in the Anachrid world.
This is Ozzies little Red back spider.

There are tons of them in western WA, I thought they were brown recluses until I got bit by one. Spider Bites: Hobo or Brown Recluse? | Oregon and Washington Pest Control Strategies | Eden Advanced Pest Technologies
Edit: there are $4 traps for them at Home Depot, worth every penny!

It hurt but it itched more than anything and I was fine a few days later. Everyone reacts differently though, I had a classmate with a silver dollar sized wound/necrosis months after a bite and he probably has a scar to this day. I would've killed that red and black one before I had time to take a picture of it, that thing gives me the heebee Jeebies.
