Sorry there is no photo.
Its a small (about the size of a pencil eraser) red spider with long segmented legs. It's red all over excepting for what appears to be some black banding around its abdomen part.
What is it...and is it poisonous? It startles me every morning, appearing near the sink.

I haven't caught, killed, or anything it because, frankly, I'd rather not disturb it unless its a) causing problems b) making an inconviently placed web...and because I try to avoid spiders. =D

I don't know, why haven't you killed it, or set it free?
