Unfortunately the only photo I have to share isn’t a clear one, but if anyone could give it a once over and attempt to ID this thing I’d really appreciate it!

Where did you find it? If it was outdoors, especially near a stream or small pond, it likely would be a long-jawed orb weaver in the genus Tetragnatha. If found indoors in a dark, undisturbed area (such as a basement or crawl space, it likely would be a cellar spider (family Pholcidae).

Technically I found it on my forehead, but I was indoors at the time so I guess the cellar spider is far more likely than the orb weaver. Thank you for the reply.
