Comments & ID Thoughts

Is this a brown recluse, long-legged sac spider, or something else? They have been seen both inside and outside of my house. This picture is of a spider on my car window (originally inside a garage overnight).

Hi. No,this is not a recluse which are not found in Michigan.
It does have the habitus of a long legged sac spider, or for lack of certainty, could be a ghost spider.
Neither will pose any threat to you, but they are venomous like bees and ants.
