Yikes... stay away. Likely a dirty Widow. A BLACK WIDOW with a lighter colouration. Don't touch it!
I found a spider like this in my home & would love to know what kind it is
It is the NORTHERN BLACK WIDOW I found one in my shop tonight and I am in GA. What a beautiful species though.
A Southern Black Widow or Brown Widow
kill it quickly it is very poisonous.
It could be a female brown widow spider. Not recluse. Widow. The female brown widow spider is a close relative of the female black widow spider and is just as poisinous. Spray it with some sort of highly toxic chemical and smash it with something that completely shields or separates the spider from your hand, such as a mallet or a knife block or a sturdy shoe or boot
Araniella cucurbitina or A.opisthographa? Maybe. Im just guessing.
Yes and the white dot is a baby recluse spider and it will jump at you and try to protect it mother.
Have seen a very small spider with 4 white dots and 1 red dot. Not a red back. Ta ~Snaff
I don't know, I'm doing research but my fiance has seen it. Noone knows what it is as of yet! but when I get the info, I'll let you know.
This is most likely a "jumping spider" and can be confirmed if it has squat legs, a stocky fuzzy body, somewhat twitchy behavior and, well, jumps. That would be your first clue.
Some species of black widow have a red dot. A redback spider, the equivalent of a black widow in Australia, also has a red dot on its back. It is all black and quite small and has a big red patch on its back. it is highly venomous. See the related link below for a picture.
a garden spider
The black hairy jumping spider has a black dot on it's head, and large green fangs. This spider is a beneficial spider, that keeps other insects at bay.
