Yellow Sac Spider - Cheiracanthium
Stevens Point, Portage County, Wisconsin, USA

We are finding like 20 of these guys a night in our house this year. I believe it to be a yellow sac spider. The markings are quite distinctive.

We agree
Very common house spider. We see them all the time here in Chicago.

Sac Spider
Wow. I stumbled across this site looking up the yellow sac spider that australia is apparently having problems with...and this picture scared me. When I was living at my parents home about 3 years ago, my basement bedroom was FLOODED with these little guys...The picture of this one on the ceiling was one I woke up to every morning..and I came quite accustomed to taking a flashlight and searching the parts between my ceiling and wall where I would find several a day. Scary, I just can't believe that I was living in an infested environment and didn't get a single bite...
