I've seen an uptick in the posting of spider pictures on iNaturalist. It seems like many people are particularly seeing running crab spiders (Philodromus), yellow sac spiders (Cheiracanthium) and Triangle Cobweb Spiders (Steatoda triangulosa). I won't say the warm weather is here to stay, but as we continue to warm up this spring, spiders will become more active and you'll probably see more in your homes as they crawl out of the nooks and crannies they were wintering in and start to seek out their next meal.
