Comments & ID Thoughts

This is a spider I keep finding in my trailer. Today we killed 6 that were on the ceiling. Any help identifying it would be appreciated. Its like there is an infestation of them. My neighbor has had a lot of them also. Their are a lot of trees around here and we are about 1 to 1 1/2 miles away from a lake.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Running Crab Spider (Philodromus sp.). They’re not anything to worry about. If there are any gaps around floors, doors, ceiling etc. that can be sealed you can reduce the number of them that find their way in.
