Reminds me of a Spitting Spider


The spider experts will let you know if I'm anywhere close. :)

Spitter!
Definitely a spitting spider. These guys have the most amazing hunting tactic of spraying a mixture of venom and web from their fangs and onto their prey.

I looked it up after the firs
I looked it up after the first comment! Spiders are so amazing. I always put them outside if I find them in the house. Thank you guys for the help! :)
