    Spider found in bathroom on wall in Upstate NY

    I found this spider on the wall in my bathroom behind my toilet today. I live in Upstate NY near Albany. I also live inside a nature preserve, and have a root cellar, if that helps. Please help! and thanks for all your time in advance!

    The image is a bit small, but it does look like it's going to be one of the Amaurobiidae, or Hacklemesh Weavers. They are not dangerously venomous, rare to bite and are sometimes found in homes.

    I think this might be a female of the genus Coras, rather. They used to be in the family Amaurobiidae but are now moved to the family Agelenidae. "They are not dangerously venomous, rare to bite and are sometimes found in homes." <- still applies.
