What type of spider(s) is this?
I took these pictures. I'm pretty sure they're the same type of spider, and we;ve had LOTS of them running around our house recently. I think I may have been bit by a couple of them while asleep, so I'd like to know if they are poisonous or not, and what type of spider they are. Here are the pictures:

Every spider is venomous to a certain point!! Helps them digest

It's not a recluse. For what it's worth, all spiders are venomous (not poisonous) to some degree. Many are more toxic than others though. All provide the benefit of eating insects so they are worth keeping around. I have seen the species before but I can't remember the name. You can look here to find an I.D. if you want. It's a fun website to go thru anyway.

That looks like a common grass spider and no they arent poisonous. Whomever said this was a Brown Recluse is an idiot.

Oh,we've got those,too.They are very fast,aren't they? I catch them in a cup and put them outside.I think it's a type of wolf spider,but I know it's not a brown recluse or a black widow,so it's probably harmless.We've had them for years and no one's ever got sick from a bite,and my cats eat them!
Here's a brown recluse.

I wouldn't worry if I were you.Spiders are very helpful in keeping down the insect population.

i don't know what kind it is, but you definitely need to do some research, just in case it is a brown recluse. i compared the pictures, and there are similarities. is there a pest control company that you could take one of them to and see if they know?
