CLOSED: I killed it, but please tell me what it is?

Frazier Park, CA

I found this bug on my wall, inside my house. I thought it was a spider from first glance, but after I trapped it in a plastic bottle, it didn't look like a spider I've seen. It's tan in color, has what looks like 2 eyes, a beak or 2 over lapping each other, hair all over, a big head and the thorax is black on top and bottom and grey on the sides. The bug curled up after sprayed with ant spray, so sorry if the pictures aren't perfect.

The image is too out of focus to make out any detail - see the solfugid image at http://tinyurl.com/y84ec8g to see if it resembles your critter before you killed it.

That's the culprit. Thanks for helping find it. It's the first time I've seen this bug, freaked me out.
