Comments & ID Thoughts

Spider was found in my bed, probably half crushed it with my weight when getting up.
It bit me a few times in the last days as I reacted to it with some big swelling.
Bottle cap for reference.

Hi, that’s a Running Crab Spider, Philodromidae/Philodromus. It looks very small, I’d be surprised if it was the culprit, everyone’s immune system is different though.
