CLOSED: Any Ideas What Kind Of Spider This Is?

We found this spider tonight in our home on the coast of North Carolina. Any Ideas what kind of spider this could be, I was concerned it was a brown recluse.

This definitely is not a brown recluse; to the best of my knowledge, it does not occur in your area (see http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2061.html). It instead appears to be a long-legged sac spider (family Miturgidae [formerly lumped with Clubionidae]) in the genus Cheiracanthium; their bites may cause slow-healing lesions - see http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2060A.html. This specimen appears to be a male, based on the enlarged pedipalps.

Thank you I appreciate your reply and I must say I'm glad it's not a brown recluse as we let it go in our front yard. We hate killing things just because of what they are. Most people just squash spiders haha.

Thanks Again!

Where there is one there is always more... so I was wondering if you thought this was just a baby version of that big guy from ealier. Also I will post a close up of the guy next.

i not positive but it dose look like a brown recluse or a stone spider .

Here's the close up of spider #2. I'm thinking he could just be a baby version of what we found last night, but I'm not entirely sure. Let me knwo what ya think! And thanks so much for the replies.

i need to know if anyone knows or heard of a spider that is shiny black with a pal yellow or white stripe down the middel of its back running vertical

dcash - You might want to start a thread asking that question. Most people won't be looking here, since Dozed has posed his own questions...

Dozed - I think that the second spider is still not ID'd because the photo isn't clear.

Yeah unfortunately I didn't get a great picture of this one. Thanks for looking though :)

The last picture is actually not a spider at all. Spiders have only eight legs

It does appear to be a spider (the blurry image makes it easy to confuse shadows with legs), but what kind is completely unclear. Dozed, if you see another one, please try to get a sharp image and post it on a new thread.
Thanks

THE BROWN RECLUSE IS NOT KNOWN TO INHABIT N. CAROLINA. IT HAS A VIOLIN SHAPE VISIBLE ON IT'S UPPER BODY

It's a spider. It just has a leg missing on its left side.

Yelling doesn't change the fact that brown recluses inhabit N Carolina. :-)

Haha Thanks everyone. If I see another one, I will get a clearer pic, he didn't really want to "sit still and smile for the camera". I appreciate everyone's comments. Oh and the last two pics (both crappy) are of the same spider, and I promise it's a spider haha.

Voltrecker the brown recluse is know to NC. Lots of them.
I have a hole above my belly button as proof and caught him in a jar and took to ER with me. Its been 3 years and I still have a hole the size of a golf ball . I got very sick and the soret debreeded about 7 or 8 times. My wallet got real light as I was given mega medicine.
I did live in Raleigh when this happened.

Yikes! Well I hope you get better!!

See http://www.wildwnc.org/education/animals/brown-recluse-spider-loxosceles-reclusa for information on Loxosceles spp. in North Carolina. I still have serious doubts about its occurrence (except perhaps as an accidental hitchhiker) in coastal areas. Such occurrences need to be documented through verification by an arachnologist; also, brown recluse bites appear to be very often misdiagnosed/overdiagnosed - see http://dermatology-s10.cdlib.org/DOJvol5num2/special/recluse.html

Since I had the spider in a jar, there was no doubt at the hospital what it was. Duke says they see quiet a few in the fall.
