Cheiracanthium inclusum

Tags: Arachnid.

Cheiracanthium inclusum alternately known as the black-footed yellow sac spider or the American yellow sac spider (in order to distinguish it from its European cousin C. punctorium) was formerly classified as a true sac spider (of the family Clubionidae) but now belongs to the long-legged sac spiders (family Miturgidae). It is a rather small pale yellow species that is indigenous to the Americas and can be found living in the foliage of forests and gardens but also can inhabit human homes.
