This is Scytodes thoracica, a Spitting Spider. They are often found in bathrooms. These are unusual spiders that combine using webbing and venom -literally! They mix venom and their liquid silk together and project the toxic goo onto the target prey. The prey struggles to escape the congealing liquid while getting coated in the deadly toxin.
The good news is that they aren’t dangerous to people, they just want a little bit of water from our bathroom fixtures.
