Hi! I’m looking to confirm this is a fishing spider? It was seen in my garden shed converted to an office and just want to make sure it’s a “friendly” spider! I did look at the list of 33 stated they have been seen in though and Idaho (where I am Is not on the list) TYIA!!

This looks like Platycryptus undatus, also known as the tan jumping spider. They are completely harmless and very shy, but they follow you with their eyes if you walk by one. This species has excellent vision.
Oh thank you! Yes, she was a very polite spider lol let me take her photo then crawled down to the far end of the room. As long as she doesn’t make too big of a mess she can stay, we need help with pesty mosquitoes & flies here!
