I used to find those often in my room in Kansas, the body is like a carapace, hard. i accidentally picked one up, luckily it didnt bite me. the back end would vary from whitish, to greyish to purplish. scary little buggers.
I haven’t seen a spider like that near south central Kansas. Have seen a few black widows on my outside walks and a brown recluse in our house. The widows probably came from bags of mulch products purchased from home improvement stores. Recluses are common in dark areas of homes in this area. Lucky we don’t have tarantulas here, my dad would have freaked out. He made me shoot a big one in Oklahoma on a fishing trip I actually wanted to catch it and he sad NO your not putting that in my truck. He is so scared of spiders; however rattle snakes he had no fear of. We caught a 6’ wrattler alive on a very warm night with my 30/30 rifle on its neck and my dad bare handed it. Talk about a RUSH. Miss those days🙏
