Although all Spiders have venom, few of them have venom potent enough to seriously hurt a human. It's also uncommon for a spider to bite a human. They need to be provoked which is usually caused by accidentally pressing against them, sitting on them, or rolling over on to them in bed. I have handled hundreds of jumping Spiders and I have never been bitten. Most are small and can not open their fangs wide enough to bite into skin.

Jumping spiders are often mistaken for being dangerous, but they are not. The jumping spider is not poisonous to humans.
My guess is that this spider you saw was either a Jumping Spider (quite possibly a Daring Jumping Spider) or a Parson Spider.
No. I live in Michigan and its most likely a jumping (Zebra) spider or a parsons spider. The only two poisonous spiders we have to worry about are the Northern Black Widow and the (rare) Brown Recluse.
I just caught a spider that matches this description. After looking online, I think it may be a jumping spider from the family Salticidae. I believe that spider is Phidippus Audax a.k.a the Bold Jumping Spider.
a type of jumping spider?
Black Widdow Spider PS:I am A student in the 6th grade
It is the common "Daring jumping spider," Phidippus audax. It's completely harmless.
black hairy with white dots on its back
Its a Bold Jumping Spider
One type of spider that is black with green markings is the jumping spider, which is found in North America. They are half an inch in length and can jump very long distances.
Likely the Daring (Bold) Jumping Spider
One possibility is the common jumping spider, which has a black body and white rings around its legs. Its scientific name is phidippus audax.
