Hi, your little spider is one of the ground spiders, Gnaphosidae family, the eastern parson spider, Herpyllus ecclesiasticus species. they are harmless, not aggressive, a tad fast. They sometimes get trapped in sinks or tubs.
Trapped against the skin, their bite can sting a bit and washing a bite with soap and water is suggested,
Helps prevent secondary infection.
