Looks really close to this sp. Any poisons i should be worried about?


I also have another spider in my room that i havent seen for awhile. About 1-2inches long, dark brown all around witha slightly lighter brown chevron on the abdom. It is pretty quick and tends to come out of the closets. I was thinking hobo spiders but i never saw one witht he punching glove leg tips, Could be all female thoe

i can't see a photo, but if it is a parson spider, you might not want to get bit. i've heard it can be a bit uncomfortable. nothing particularly nasty, but you could have an adverse effect.

This second spider could be more serious. I can't be specific without a photo, but there is the possibility of Tegenaria agrestis "hobo spider" in your area, which are pretty venomous.

As Widowman said, parson spider bites can bother a bit (causes headache ), but it's nothing serious.
