Anyone Recognize this Spider?
Jonno ^ | 3/25/2021 | Jonno

One of my kids found this in his room today and took the picture. He & mom let it go outside. Apparently the leg-span is about the size of a nickel.

I don't recall seeing anything like this before in our area (Minneapolis subs).

Anyone have a clue as to what species this is?

It has a venom pod.

Find it and kill it.

I don’t know the species, but it looks as though it could be eggbound. The spider probably made a nice mid day snack for a Robin or Cardinal.

I was just thinking that he looks like my cousin Fred.
Are we related?

Wouldn’t be surprised.

Lot’s of packages from AMZ these days.

My son also had some bamboo plants that he got from some local shop. It probably snuck in on one of those.

If it’s now outside, you’d be in ITS bedroom if you went looking for it.

Seems pretty rare to start and no sightings in Minnesota (warmer climate spider).
You might want to send the photo and your location to these folks:
https://spiderid.com/spider/trachelidae/trachelas/tranquillus/

They are keeping a diary-of-sorts.
You could help them out, maybe.
