My boyfriend is scared shitless of them and he says theyre deadly and poisonous, i dont believe him, he exaggerates a lot. I live in south florida and im thinking theyre just common house spiders of florida. Ive checked online and havent found one that looks like this one. help?

Maybe the top one is missing a leg? and i took all of these pictures about 30 minutes ago. They are always hiding in the pantry, dark places, ive seen a few in the bathroom too.

Sure looks like it to me. And I really hate f'n spiders. /shudder

Unless your boyfriend is about 1/4" tall, he should be ok. But I sympathize with him on the fear of those little ***.

Wiki page has ones that look just like it.

There are probably a hundred variations of the daddy long legs. But they all look relatively the same.

they look like daddy long legs to me, not sure if that is the correct name for those spiders but thats what we call them up north. I can't say for sure thats what they are because most of the ones I remember seeing have kinda fat bodies. I dont think I have seen or paid attention to seeing one in years though so I could be mistaken on that, if you dont like them hanging around smash em with a flip flop or something

Kill them all. If you don't, they will crawl into your ear and lay eggs that hatch and find their way to your brain.

Step 2, find a new boyfriend because yours is a sissy.
