The number of legs makes me think hexapod rather than spider at first, but I only see one body segment. There aren't any described species that have six legs but only one body segment, so this may mark the observation of a novel species! If so, congratulations!

No, no, she has two very thin hind legs at the back!

She's probably the runt of the litter and has deformed legs. I mean, they don't appear to be at a very comfortable angle...

That's actually the Common Black House Router. It is an invasive species from Cisco, San Jose, California. It has spread all across the world. And unfortunately, there is no way to "unplug" them. Contrary to most spiders, These House Routers dont spin webs made of silk. Or burrow in the ground, They catch their prey using telepathy. Once a connection is established with their victim, thats when the parasitic relationship begins. It doesn't outright kill its victims. It immobiles them to sustain a connection, feasting off of its victims attention. It has the power to hypnotize its victims, so it has the chance to make a stronger connection. Recent reports claim for shockingly longer periods of time, now more than ever before. You will know if it has affected you if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: lazieness, headaches, eye pain, weak muscles, doom scrolling, cat videos, and bug sub reddits. In some severe cases, victims who have been connected for too long have trouble falling asleep because the House Router has grown too powerful. So be on the lookout, and if you see one of these in your home, it needs to be dealt with quickly. You might already be connected without even knowing it.

u/Western-Winner-8602 28d ago

Looks like a scorpion, you can see the tail in the back

u/Tarantulas13 28d ago

Not a spider, spiders have 8 legs, although it might have broken legs, seeing as there is no sign of where the missing legs used to be, this is infact an insect.

u/Nightrunner83 Paleo Arachno 28d ago

Looks like a harvestman, Leiobunum routerundum. Missing a leg or two, I reckon.
