Thankfully killed that mfer, but it was probably the most agile spider I've ever come across

I will usually happily research most all bugs, but spiders give me the creeps and I can't stand seeing more than a couple pics of them.

99% sure it is harmless to you and will probably help your gnat and other bug problems.

I still like them. I’m a weird spider saver except the brown recluse that set up house in my tack box. I dig around blindly in there too much to let them live.

Either that or lying about it. Mimics are pretty little liars.
