I found it!! I was looking at bugguide.net and came up with Scytodes thoracica or the Spitting spider - hence the big head. Not bad for someone who doesn't even live on the same continent! Don't know if it's poisonous or not. Probably is for insects and such ..... =)

Wow, that spider I have never seen before. It looks like it would infect you pretty bad. I would cut its head open, or take a sample with a needle give it to an ant and see end results.

It looks small, colourless, and insignificant. Probably the male version of a better known spider. You don't see the males very often, they tend to get eaten a lot.
