Crab Spider
6230 Found this spider inside our house in Southwestern Ontario. My husband has woken up with a few bites that swelled up this week and we’re looking for the culprit. Is this spider harmful to humans or pets? From Bothwell, Ontario.

Thanks for the feedback! The bites have healed up and no more have been found so whatever bit my hubby has moved on.
