Comments & ID Thoughts
Initial thoughts, some type of jumping spider? Not sure. It just appeared on my arm during strong winds with the door open, so it may not have entered the house by choice

Found him in a book, “skerpioenspinnekop”, don’t know what the correct english common name is but directly translated is scorpion spider of the family Trochanteriidae. 12-20mm, night time active. Anyone know if it’s venomous? Doubt it though.
this might be a Asagena fulva but im not fully sure but hopefully I help somewhat :3
