Found this spider running very quickly across my living room rug. I caught it on the paper and released it outside.

Hi, this looks like a Red-spotted Ant-mimic, Castianeira descripta. I need to make species page when I have more time.

That’s catchy 🙂 and better than the Naked Yoga Man arrested in a New Hampshire Planet Fitness gym!

Like most spiders they have venom but are unlikely to bite except in self defense and are not considered to be of medical significance.
