About 4 inches long. Has been in the hallway outside my apartment for about a month.
I would like to leave it alone unless it is poisonous (or pregnant– LOL)
Cool! So,this is the species that is the reason we say, “ALMOST all spiders have venom.” I was trying to remember which species had a reference to being bent at a sharp angle (geniculate) in its name.
Please check this one when you have time. https://spiderid.com/picture/97903/ Are there Brown Widows in Canada or is a different cute little spider? Thanks!

Uloboridae, Zosis geniculata (Grey House Spider). This family of spiders is unique, they lack venom glands! So they are not venomous.
