Some sort of hermit spider, but not a brown recluse.

Also, I am officially creeped out. Thanks Brittany!  >:(

I'm not sure if that's the natural look for that spider. It's body looks scarred. I don't know what breed that is though. o0;
Is that the same specimen in each picture?

I think its just a regular ol' spider. But with his ass chopped off. Those things are very delicate.

Did a little research out of curiousity, just to identify what this little fellow (or lady; Difficult to tell with most spiders) is. It's most likely Cyclocosmia Truncata, a form of trapdoor spider. That weird flat plate for an abdomen it has, is armor; When threatened, it retreats into its burrow, which is a good fit for its abdomen, leaving nothing exposed but that little hardened plate. Delightful. And unfortunately, apparently frequently used by creationists in their anti-science rants, if the Google results are any indication. Initially thought it was a member of the mygalomorphae family based on its body shape, eye arrangement and leg structure, turns out I was partially right. These little guys are native to the southeast end of the United States, and harmless.
