Unidentified

Comments & ID Thoughts

Found in my string of hearts (recently bought) in its web (horizontal). There are two of them (one smaller, the larger one is in the pic) located somewhere near moss (I found the larger spider first, smaller one just popped up later while I was poking the dirt) where the webbing was. Both are small (about one and two mm). I don't think that it's any of the smaller native species (if it is my guess would be Macrargus rufus, but I'd like to get at least another opinion). Any guesses would be appreciated. I need to at least know if it's dangerously venomous to humans or a possible threat to any native spider (if it is a native it isn't dangerously venomous to humans lol). If they aren't dangerous to humans I'm planning on keeping them as predators for the mini ecosystem the plant creates. For now I'm going to put them back and hope the pots are enough for them and that they stay there. Thank you in advance.
