You would first have to check the size of the spider. If it is a huge spider, it is obiously a tarantula. (Depending on location, very unlikely that it is a tarantula) If it is small, check for violin-shaped markings on the abdomen (the 'violin' markings of the brown recluse are on the cephalothorax where the legs are attached). If there are, the spider is a brown recluse.

Depending on location, size, body shape, coloration, web or not, and where in your house, it could be any number of harmless Spiders. A more detailed description would yield more information. ---------------------------- If it has a violin on it's back, kill it immediately! It's a Brown Recluse (A.K.A. The Violin Spider). The Brown Recluse has an acid-like venom that melts skin tissue, muscle & fat. If it's fuzzy, kind of large, & somewhat bright, also kill it immediately. It's a Wolf Spider. Their venom isn't deadly, or nearly as toxic as the Violin Spider, but their bites are very painful, they swell, they itch, & in some cases, can make you nauseous.

Found spider in western ny brown white spots on back black white legs body the size of a marble What is it?

I think I may have seen a similar spider today. The "butt" of the spider was quite large, burnt orange color with white spots on the top. I have never seen the spider before but I think I found a picture of it online. I haven't found the name of it yet. I'll let you know when I find out what it was. I may have found the spider you saw. The one I saw is called a shamrock orb weaver. Check out the pic on spiderzrule.com under the link Common US Spiders on the home page.

What spider has light tan almond shaped thorax with small dark brown head?

This needs some clarification to answer. Is it about a quarter to three-quarter inches long? Does it have a more slender body? If so, please stay away from it! There is a possibility it is a brown recluse spider. The brown recluse has what is called a "fiddleback" on its cephelothorax. It is a dark brown/black line, basically. Also, the brown recluse has only six eyes, which makes it distinct from most other spiders. In all actuality, if you can make out either of those distinctive features, you are way too close to it. A brown recluse bite isn't always felt upon first being bitten. The venom they produce causes necrosis, or flesh death. Basically, around where you were bitten, your skin dies and you have giant lesions of flesh. There is no known antivenin.
