I believe you are referring to a Wolf spider, i just encountered such and immediately started to look it up. This description is the only thing that i could find. Silvery back can occur it was non-aggressive unlike a brown recluse in other words. A small amount larger than a Half-dollar.
One spider that could fit that description is the Black Widow spider. If it is a glossy-black spider and has a red marking on it's abdomen, it's a Black Widow spider. If you can, check the underside of the abdomen for a red marking in the shape of an hourglass. Be careful! These Spiders are very poisonous and do pose a threat to humans.
I dunno, but it sure sounds like that one i splatted in the bathroom the other night!
I believe it might be a brown recluse
The spider which you are describing, being black and about the size of the palm of your hand in Ohio is likely a wolf spider. They are not aggressive but will bite if provoked. While not lethal to humans, a wolf spider bite will require medical attention as they are poisonous.
black bar ---- Not Goliath. They are not found in the U.S unless it was a pet. And they are much bigger than a CD case.
This is the Herpyllus Ecclesiasticus, more commonly known as the Parsons spider. This spider gets its name because the white stripe on the abdomen resembles an 18th Century parson's cravat.
Brown Widow Spiders. When the subject of dangerous spiders comes up, the average person usually thinks about the black widow spider. Their shiny black body with a prominent red hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen is an image that readily comes to mind. Source: Google.com
There is an estimated 43,678 species of spiders in the world. It is best to avoid any spider or insect that can not be identified. One way to identify a spider could be to go to the library to research spiders comparing images in a book.

Without knowing the size of the spider and where it was found, itÕs hard to know for sure what kind of a spider it is. It may be a black and yellow garden spider or a common orb weaver
It is almost impossible to tell for certain what kind of spider a given specimen is simply by its appearance. In this case, you can rule out many species of spiders, but additional information such as size and web type would be key in its identification.

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.
depends on the size of the spider, and which legs you are asking about
Black widow

If it was a pretty descent size spider it could very likely be a wolf spider. They would hide in things like that and they are very fast. I used to get them in my old house. They are not dangerous but can be creepy looking.
The Smiley Face Spider has a heart like shape on the butt.
where did you find this spider, i found one like it about to die in the house it wz about the size of a 50 cent if the legs was open
There does not appear to be a spider that is naturally colored teal and pink. However, some spiders have the ability to change their coloring, like a chameleon. One such spider is the crab spider.
