Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.
According to my app this is a red house spider. They typically don’t bite humans, but can. They don’t affect humans very much, but could have a mild reaction to its venom. However they can have more effect on a dog or cat.
You can find their webs in dark and cool areas such as a corner of a wall. You can usually find a round egg sack near their web.
The adult is usually under 1/2 an inch.
I hope this helps.
