I live in Ontario Canada. We are very different from the rest of the world when it comes to spiders. From what I know (which isn't much) we do not have spiders this way that can hurt you. So I was at the park near my house which is surrounded by a lot of forest, and my 5 year old girl was about to jump on a swing when this caught my eye. I prevented her from going on this, because of the spider I saw.

I was not really thinking hard about killing it until I returned home and showed some friends. We all believe this is not a spider that should be out this way. Can someone please inform me if I should contact the city because I do not want a child to get injured or hurt from this or its mother. This was the size of a nail but as you can see it is very hairy and looks like it can do some damage now and as it gets bigger.

thanks in advace
