Spider Question

Jul 19, 2008 12:40

So here I am with another unidentified spider. Accept this one is much smaller and not as exotic looking as the last one. I actually noticed this spider earlier in the week, but just didn't have the time to look at it much until today.

And I cant really ignore this one because its web is between me and watering hose, so the poor plants on my front porch are going to go thirsty until I decide what to do with it....knock the web down or use a bug spray.

Did I mention there are actually multiple webs and there are at least three of these things? I think they are setting up a little spider colony.

I took a picture of it. I'm putting it under a cut to spare the squeamish. If anyone has any ideas what type of spider this is or whether it is poisonous or not, I would really appreciate any info. The fact that is has a splash of red on it makes me cautious cause I know poisonous bugs and animals often have bright colors.



Note: This is actually the underside of the spider. I couldn't get around to see the other side.
