Brown and white spider

I had a spider in our bathroom (which I left him there because we have ants in there too) but I moved him because he wasnt catchin any thing (I caught him in a jar) he was tiny, but his 2 front legs were long, it was brown in color and had white lines on his top abdomen and belly, any body have any idea what kinda spider this is!?

Answer #6

haha whats there to be sorry about? I acutally hate spiders but your right, I live in ny and most spiders aren’t poisonous here. I was just cerious as to what kind it was.

I think its just a common house spider but we do have orb spiders here

Answer #7

Here is a list of 11 common New York spiders. The brown one almost sounds like the Sac Spider (poisonous) but in a way it doesn’t. Since you seen it you can make that determination. The second one I can’t really decide. Either way, here’s the link:

Answer #8

The white lines give him away–his “racing stripes” its probably a wolf spider. They must be out heavy everywhere this year. This is probably the 4th question this week, and I have been killing them left and right this year. He sounds like a little guy, but they can get huge! As far as I know they are non-toxic–but their bite causes a lot of swelling and a pretty good amt of pain.
