Dear Gardeners,
We would appreciate your help in identifying this spider - it was inside the house and we just want to make sure it's not poisonous because we don't want my toddler bitten by another one!
The body is approximately an inch, maybe 1 1/4 inch long, with long (2 inch?) legs. Brown/beige striped, quite furry, quite scary.
This was in northern Peloponnese, in Greece, out in the country (possibly brought in with firewood?).
Thank you so much for your time.

By definition, most spiders are venomous but not all a harmful to humans. I think this one is a Crab or Running Crab Spider. Maybe? What do you say, Flapdoodle?
