Dear Bugman,
I am a flight attendant and therefore get to see a wide variety of bugs, welcome or not, both on and off the airplanes. This little guy was sharing a room with me in North Carolina. I have been bitten in the past many times in hotels by many things but wanted to know if this guy is a threat or helpful roommate.

Hi Kelly,
The Parson Spider in your photo is considered a harmless species. They are Ground Spiders that do not build a web to snare prey.
