@goodluck-milo submitted: I can't ID this spider for the life of me! My brother found it, and we're in central Arizona. He says it was the size of his pinky nail, but he has big hands so I'd say 1 cm or 3/8 inch. Inside the house, in the bathroom, if that also helps any.

Looks like a spitting spider! But kinda looks like it's covered in dust or something? Def can't see the normal markings.

Looks like I have a spitting spider. These critters are pretty interesting, they spit a fluid of venom and liquid spider silk that congeals on contact with their prey! They sway side to side while spitting that hits their prey in a zigzap pattern. They are harmless to humans and not aggressive.
