Yellow Sac Spider.


These are very common household spiders. This one is in a washbasin at work. These spiders sometimes get in between a person's clothes and skin and bite, which in some people can be "medically significant." One bit Alexis two years ago and she had a painful welt on her leg for two weeks and she still has a scar.

Later that day, I saw my first carp of the year, in the Muddy River!
