Comments & ID Thoughts

We keep finding this type of spider in our home. I live in Fairfield County in Connecticut. I have a newborn baby so I’d like to make sure they aren’t poisonous.

Hi, this is one of the Ground Spiders (Gnaphosidae), looks like Sergiolus capulatus.

Do you know anything about them? Are they poisonous?

Like most spiders they have venom but are unlikely to bite except in self defense and are not considered to be of medical significance, Everyone’s immune system is different though.
