Herpyllus ecclesiasticus
(Eastern Parson Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

I believe this is the spider that my sister called the "ankle biter". It is about 1cm long (including legs). As the pic suggests, is is black with a gold tinted line running down it's back. I was able to get a very good look at it since the spider stayed still on the floor while I was photographing it.
