Caught 4 of these in my bedroom, hoping they're not poisonous? Looking for an identification, maybe an antidote if necessary. If they are poisonous, I'd love someone to come wake me up, because I'm sleeping with them. Oh, live in Eastern-ish CT in the woods / forest. Thanks!
Identify this before it bites me and I die.
Well, the only dangerous spiders that I know of are the brown recluse and the black widow. Yours are neither of those. Perhaps someone else can be more helpful.
These appear to be crab spiders, family Thomisidae, possibly in the genus Xysticus or Ozyptila, I can't make an exact ID, I'm sure someone else will be more knowledgeable. These spiders do possess venom, but are not harmful to humans. See http://tinyurl.com/m4zylq and http://tinyurl.com/mu52zf for respective images.
