This eeerie looking dude was hanging out on our back porch, and DH was a little freaked out by him. DH almost lost his arm to a brown recluse 10 years ago...so he is not a fan of spiders.

Do you have any idea what type of spider this is? We live in Upstate NY. I did a search and am thinking it is in the jumping spider family. I really do not like the evil looking face on his back.

It appears there is a nest between slats in the back of our house...and if it is of the poison natures...I would like a heads up.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Debbie
