Image of Metaltella simoni (Keyserling 1878)
Description:
Spider roaming around the house and found in the sink. Thought it might be a brown recluse but have learned that is the most mis-identified spider. Definitely a male as state below: The male spider has an enlarged pair of pedipalps, sometimes resembling a pair of arms with boxing gloves on. In many species, you can easily identify a male because of his enlarged, rounded pedipalps, which he uses to transfer sperm to the female during mating
