Comments & ID Thoughts

I am finding these spiders all over my apartment! They have all been found close to the front of the apartment in the kitchen and bedroom that is closest to the garage and concrete sidewalk and drive as well as stone landscaping. I have found them crawling on laminate flooring, carpet, ceiling and the walls. This spider was about the size of a nickel. This is probably the smallest one I have seen, the largest was slightly larger than a quarter.
