What kind of spider is one inch black with white diamond on it's back in North Carolina?

Answer 1

If the spider is solid black except for a white diamond on the abdomen, it is probably a jumping spider, Phiddipus audax. Their name means "audacious," probably because if they see a human watching them while they are out crawling around and hunting on a sunny wall they will not get scared and run away. They will, instead, start watching the human. They don't want to eat or attack the human. They just want to keep an eye out for a possible attack. (If you grab one it will most likely give you a defensive bite. Leave the spider alone so it can catch more flies and mosquitos.)

If you want to check Phiddipus audax out, just enter the name as a phrase in Google, and then you can look at all the images. Or go to Wikipedia and search for Phidippus audax.

Answer 2

There are several brown Spiders with diamonds of various colors on their back. The best way to determine what type of spider it may be is to have a picture or a very descriptive image to determine if the spider is a Brown Widow are some other type when providing the information to an expert.
