My guess is that this spider you saw was either a Jumping Spider (quite possibly a Daring Jumping Spider) or a Parson Spider.
I got bit by a spider fitting this description, and hurt very bad. Very small, black spider with two very small dots on its back(side by side), but I don't know what kind it is..left a pretty good welt, and red dot on my leg.
The spider you are describing sounds like a daring jumping spider (Phidippus audax). They are known for their black and furry bodies with white spots on their backs and white stripes on their legs. Daring jumping spiders are commonly found throughout North America.
The spider you are describing sounds like the bold jumper spider (Phidippus audax), which is commonly found in Northern Indiana. They have a distinctively marked brown abdomen with white spots and black and white striped legs. Bold jumper spiders are known for their agile jumping ability and are harmless to humans.
It could be a Phidippus audax. I live in Dallas and just terminated one in my bedroom on orders from my wife. I didn't know what kind it was but did a search on the web. Google that name and see if the pics match your spider.
It is the common "Daring jumping spider," Phidippus audax. It's completely harmless.
The distinguishing features of a small brown spider with white spots on its back are its small size, brown coloration, and white spots that are visible on its back.
a type of jumping spider?

There are many different kinds of spiders that are brown with white spots. To properly identify them, it helps to determine if the spots are in any particular pattern, the overall body shape of the spider, and where it is living. Such a spider may be a sic-spotted fishing spider, a bold jumping spider, or an orb-weaving garden spider.
