Before I got all the pics I wanted, it disappeared into some teensy slats in my oven I never really noticed were there until—bloop!—gone. I saw its legs poking out and tried to herd it out into a catch cup with a paintbrush, but the spider wasn't having it. I'll check again in a minute.
Description: My mother found it wandering around in her house. Legs included, it's not even the diameter of a dime. The front two pairs of legs curve forward, a bit like a crab (and some orbweavers). The abdomen is compressed dorsally / ventrally. It will stand up in a defense posture.
ON EDIT: Google Lens says genus Xysticus might be right. A ground crab spider...sounds about right.
