Yellow sac spiders are all oer MI. I mean literally everywhere. Go in almost any room in a house and if you look hard enough you will either find one, or you will find their "sac." The bites are often blamed on Brown recluse by doctors I think. Especially since Brown Recluse do not colonise up here according to the DNR and the cooperative extension office. Too cold.

"It was like a stinging nettle, but not really painful," said Baldinger, 53. Within two days, the wound was red and infected, and a specialist told him the symptoms could take eight to 10 weeks to subside.

Good find on that pic but man, that spider looks like it's on crack! {D
I hope that's a dead or preserved specimen. If not, that spider's got problems! {D
