I literally found this spider on my crotch today and am freaking out.

It is about the size of a a double AA battery. It is brown, has 8 legs. Looks a bit furry.

I want to know if I should burn my house down or maybe find an exterminator.

Any suggestions on what this spider may be? I live in Jerusalem, Israel.

I am keeping it on my desk (after I stomped on it) until the mystery is solved. Let me know if you need further pictures.

Thanks in advance!
