Flat spider!

Posted by Joy on December 16, 2020, 7:21 pm

Today, I found a very very flat spider crawl out from under the stove. It was super fast. Does anyone know what it is? I’m pretty sure it’s probably harmless.
Thanks!

It was a sort of black and white. It was pretty fast to be able to get a good look at it.

I call these wall spiders who seem to be harmless, and will eat bugs in your dwelling. I’ve lived quite happily with one in my bedroom for a month, until a painter unfortunately stepped on it just as I was telling him it was mi mascota.

Thanks! I figure it was probably pretty harmless. Just curious. I haven’t seen one before.

If they are kinda' square and flat the locals call them cancala(sp?),they move very fast in sort of right angles. We lived with them for years in LM, were told they are harmless.
