Black-Footed Yellow Sac Spider
The Black-Footed Yellow Sac Spider is also referred to as the American yellow sac spider and that’s to distinguish it from a very similar-looking spider that lives in Europe and Central Asia. These spiders were originally considered to be true sac spiders but this has changed and they are currently considered to be part of the Cheiracanthiidae family.
You can easily recognize these spiders because of their yellowish color and dark markings on the edge of their legs and jaws. They are relatively small but are fearsome predators that actively hunt insects and other spiders at night. They are native to the Americas and are usually found in the foliage of forests or gardens. During the winter, these spiders tend to move inside houses as well.
