What kind of spider is this? - Hibana velox
Ocala, Fl, Florida, USA
May 18, 2017
Size: Quarter sized
I found this floating in a bathtub toy of my daughter's. It's roughly the size of a quarter, legs and all. What kind of spider is this? Does it bite? Is it venomous? Thank you in advance!

Looks to be a harmless Anyphaenidae
likely Hibana. All spiders bite. Essentially all are venomous. That's how they eat. Essentially all are harmless to humans unless the person has special allergies. Just learn the Widows and the Recluses. The other 99+% are ones you needn't worry about. They are actually beneficial getting rid of things that are real pests!
