Black fuzzy spider with red on its back?
A common black spider with a red spot on its back is the Jumping Spider. It is somewhat fuzzy. The Jumping Spider is about 1/8 - 3/4 inches long, very hairy, stocky built, and short-legged. The markings are diverse among its many species. Some are black with spots of orange or red on the back. At first site some fear it to be a Black Widow Spider. The Black Widow, however, has a red hourglass shape underneath on the belly and has longer legs.
The difference in the Jumping Spider that I found in my home is that the orange marks near the face are lacking and the white spot on the back is a red spot.

Do nursery web spiders make webs?
Yes nursery web spiders do make webs. They create a type of web called a nursery web. This web is also known as a garden spider web because of its garden-like pattern and resemblance to a garden. The web is made up of an outer rim of non-sticky threads and a dome of extremely sticky threads. Nursery web spiders use their webs to capture prey such as flies and mosquitoes as well as to protect their eggs.
Nursery web spiders build their webs in the following way:
- The spider first creates an outer rim of non-sticky threads.
- The spider then creates a dome of extremely sticky threads.
- The spider builds a retreat space within the dome.

Wolf spiders may or may not be aggressive but will inject venom freely if continually provoked. Symptoms of their venomous bite include swelling, mild pain and itching. Though usually considered harmless to humans, the bite of some species may be painful. In the past, necrotic bites have been attributed to some South American species, but further investigation has indicated that those problems that did occur were probably actually due to bites by members of other genera. Australian wolf spiders have also been associated with necrotic wounds, but careful study has likewise shown them not to produce such results. for more info visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider#Toxicity
