I'm not sure of the type of spider. I have a barn with aluminum finished siding inside. It's a smaller room in the barn where I've found about 6+ of these guys. There are lots of bugs in the room as I was leaving the light on at night. I'm in more south eastern to central Ohio. I've measured the body at about half inch.
CLOSED: Need help identifying this spider please
These appear to be an unusually pale variant of a nursery web spider, Pisaurina mira - see http://bugguide.net/node/view/34529/bgimage for an example and http://www.spiders.us/files/pisaurina-mira-eyes-300x300.jpg for the eye pattern.
Looks like a fishing spider in the genus Dolomedes...
I didn't kill this guy as I was able to recognized his pretty quickly. I'm very spider friendly as long as I'm familiar with the type. Haha. Thank you tho!
