I think that would be the long legged sac spider although Hibana incursa looks extremely similar but the incursa has stripes on the side of the head which I don’t see from this picture but I definitely could be wrong.
Hi, your image has been filed. (See above image for ID.) 🙂
Are these dangerous? I have them all over my house in CO
Hi. No, these are not dangerous, they were thought to cause a minor skin injury inn the past, but research has shown that not to be the case.
For a house spider though, they can be bitey if trapped against the skin, maybe a brief sting and lingering itch, but no harm done.
I have a few about and just ignore them,never been much nuisance.
That’s a relief. Thank you!
