Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Is this a brown recluse? I wish I could have photographed his back. His back-end was solid brown. About the size of a quarter. Maybe a little bigger with legs out. Very fast. Found him under a antique coffee table while dusting for my aunt. I’ve seen a lot of spiders but never on like this... no orb type spider web. A few random webs. Here and there maybe to travel on...

Hi, this is a cellar spider in the family Pholcidae. They make irregular webs where the ceiling meets the walls. They’re harmless.

this appears to be a cellar spider, they cannot harm you at all.
