Southern House Spider (Female, Kukulcania Hibernalis)

The female Southern House Spider is either black or brown and is much larger than the male. The male sometimes is mistaken for a Brown Recluse Spider. They can not see very well and if you are in their way they will walk over you.This particular spider was found in a very dark horse barn. I had to stand on a bucket to get the photograph.
