Hello everyone,

I found this spider crawling under my bed the other night and I decided to lay carpet tape around the perimeter to protect myself. When I woke up the next day, I found it trapped on the sticky tape. I have not had a peaceful sleep since. Please, if someone can tell me if this spider is poisonous or any useful information about it, I would be grateful.

It is brownish in colour and about 2 inches wide. It is a bit squished in the picture, but it stood quite high in the beginning. I took a picture of it with my camera phone, so I hope this will help with it's identification.

Thanks again!
