Guest in the sink

Guest in the sink
Today we have had a guest in the bathroom sink. He keeps to himself and we try not to dislodge him with splashed water. Apparently he is nocturnal so overnight he'll probably move somewhere he can find more food.

I think he is a yellow sac spider. If you look closely you can see his eight eyes. I do not know enough spider anatomy to know what the two bulbous black shiny bodies are below his eye. But I think they may be his pedipalps, held a little like a boxer holding his gloves to his chest.

A friend tells me the boxing gloves are the spider's chelicerae which house its fangs. The pedipalps are smaller “feet” next to the chelicerae and only one of which can be well seen here.
