I found this spider in my curio cabinet yesterday and then today I captured it. I have never seen a spider like this before....ever. I thought it peculiar because I recently returned from Hawaii and put a Hawaiian doll that I purchased while in Hawaii, which was tightly packaged in a box, in the curio cabinet and just thought perhaps it was hiding in the doll and then came out of hiding and began menadering around in my curio cabinet from shelf to shelf. What do you think? Any ideas?
This is not a spider at all, but a nymph of an assassin bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Reduviidae); likely a species native to your area. These insects are general predators on other small arthropods, and therefor usually considered beneficial.
suunto....Thank you so much!
