It is a distant relative of the infamous violin spider. Both have nocturnal habits, yellowish in color, and three pairs of eyes instead of four.
If you look at them with a magnifying glass or a macro lens, however, you will immediately notice that they do not resemble each other very much. Especially Scytodes thoracica is totally harmless, in fact it is useful because it hunts silverfish.
In this other photo I took you can see his tiny fangs with which, even if he wanted to, he could not bite us:

On top of that, it's particularly slow and reminds me of a teddy bear. :-) Other species I dislodge from home, he doesn't. Specimen of 4-5 mm. ^_^
A male, in fact in this third photo you can see the long thread-like protuberances of the pedipalps:
