Spider ID #874437

Asked June 24, 2024, 1:19 PM EDT

Hello. Can you tell me if this is a worrisome spider?

Prince George's County Maryland

Expert Response

We can't ID the spider to species without much more detail visible, but we can see enough to say that it's not a black widow or a brown recluse, and as such should not be medically significant (if it can bite a person at all...many have fangs too small to do so).
