We just moved to Michigan and these are all around the property (including the basement). Just want to know if it’s something I need to be concerned about. Google lens is inconclusive, at least with my non-existent knowledge.

    The CDC reported case studies in the 1990s claiming that the hobo spider bite caused isolated cases of necrosis in people,[12][13] but as of 2017, the CDC no longer lists the hobo spider among venomous species.[3] In Canada, there is no evidence that hobo spider bites cause skin necrosis.[4] Some bites reportedly from the closely related desert grass spider, Agelenopsis aperta, may have been inaccurately reported and may have actually been from the hobo spider.[14]

    Well that’s interesting, thank you for the correction.
