Just back from Mexico (Cancun / Playa del Carmen - v. nice!) but found this critter in our case when we got home.

Uncle Google suggest Violin Spider but I'm not so sure. Anyone here care to hazard a guess?

Can you see how many eyes it's got? They've got 3 which is weird.

Horrible little bds. Let him play his tiny little sad song on his tiny little sad violin hehe

Keep it as a pet and let him/her run up your arm for a snack.

Have you killed it yet? I'm not comfortable knowing it's in the same country as me.

Burn it, burn your suitcase.

Better to burn your house too just to be safe.

This.

Please kill the little bd.

If you don't, imagine how you'd feel if you see a news article in a few days of someone who is killed by a spider bite.

Impaled on his own violin. A noble death.
