I don't know the species but thorny legged is okay with me.
For most of my life, I would stomp any spider I came across or came across me! Several years ago I was educated in the reason that spiders should not be "stomped" on. Therefore, I have a new appreciation and enjoy photographing them.
thank you for this look. I cannot imagine what those thorny legs would feel like, but it is so cool looking.

I realize that most spiders are harmless to humans but I still get rid of Black Widows when I run across one. I have never had occasion to run across a Brown Recluse but I would stomp it also.
