Spitting spider

Scytodes thoracica

Description:

These six-eyed spiders spit venomous silk at their prey.

Habitat:

Urban dwelling

Notes:

I'm really excited to have finally seen one of these. They're pretty common and are often found in homes, but perhaps because they're nocturnal, this is the first one I've ever found.
