jumping spider family (Salticidae
A spider that has a brick colored heart-shaped marking surrounded by white on its back and lives on the ground might be an orb spider or a white tail spider. This spider might also be a common garden spider found in much of the U.S.
My guess is that this spider you saw was either a Jumping Spider (quite possibly a Daring Jumping Spider) or a Parson Spider.
From what I have been told, this sounds like an Orb Spider...which is in the Widow Family and is extremely venomous.
The spider that is black with a white crescent on its back is the Brown House Spider. This spider is often confused with the red-back spider.
This is the Phidippus audax, which is commonly known as the daring or bold jumping spider. They are found throughout most of the United States.

Black widow
The worst kind.
Likely the Daring (Bold) Jumping Spider
I love riddles!! What kind? i have caught a spider with those exact same markings... the white "spot" on top of it's abdomen looks more like a white heart, and i found this spider in my yard in Sacramento, CA.... from what i have learned this spider is a Daring (or Bold) Jumping Spider... harmless and non aggressive supossedly...
either its a new spider species, or its just a make believe spider!!

Have seen a very small spider with 4 white dots and 1 red dot. Not a red back. Ta ~Snaff

It's most likely the common "Daring jumping spider," Phidippus audax. It's completely harmless.
