Comments & ID Thoughts

I found this spider in the skimmer basket of the pool (completely submerged in water); my pool needs to be shocked, so it is low on chemicals. After I pulled out the skimmer basket to clean it, she played dead for a good 30 seconds and then moved fast as heck to crawl out. Anyone have any idea which type she is? Poisonous?
