I forgot to add, Sasha has been relatively peaceful, not scared of me really, she’s also quite small
I just got a closer look at her, she is completely pitch black, maybe some subtle grey
A ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae. the faint grey could match an eastern parson spider.
If they don’t like the idea of hands touching them, they can spook and dart away.
