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