It isn't a spider at all. It is an insect masquerading as a spider. I live in Tennessee and on June 19 encountered one on my porch. I killed it and the "body" fell off. On further inspection I found it only had 6 legs.

If the spider is super shiny and has a very round abdomen, then it's probably some sort of widow and you should stay away.
