Comments & ID Thoughts

This was in my garage dead. I’m terrified of spiders and would like to know if it is venomous.

Yes, as a general rule, most spiders you encounter are venomous–even though the vast majority either cannot or will not bite a human. That is a six spotted fishing spider, Dolomedes triton, whose bite has been compared to a mild bee sting.

They are not social spiders, so probably not.
