Long-Legged Sac Spider

The Long-Legged Sac Spider (Cheiracanthuim mildei), is a member of the prowling spider family Miturgidae. Its lengthy legs and the tent-like silk shelter it constructs to ward off predators are both the sources of its name. Female long-legged sac spiders are typically larger than males, measuring between 5 and 9 millimeters in length. The color of their bodies is often pale yellow, white, green, or brown, with the abdomen being slightly paler than the cephalothorax.

Long-legged sac spiders catch their victims in ambushes. They can move quite swiftly, and they typically go out at night to find food. Despite not being fatal, their bite can be quite painful. As a result, if you come into contact with one, you are best off avoiding it.
