Yellow sac spider

/in , /by

7495.      I got bit on my leg by this spider tonight. I was able to kill it. Not sure what type of spider it is but I can’t find any information about a spider that looks like this in Vancouver. so far the area that it bit sings, has a small welt and red. Any help identifying it would be great! Thank you. Vancouver BC. Canada.

 

Number 7495.    This most likely is a yellow sac spider (family Cheiracanthiidae) in the genus Cheiracanthium. See Yellow sac spider example . Their bite is not considered medically significant; see Yellow sac spider detailed information .
