Identify this spider

[alarmguy]

At first, I thought a recluse until I saw the markings.
No arrowglass unless this is just a young black widow or brown widow.

Anyway, definitely not friendly looking and the web wasn’t that big but looked like it could’ve been that fine silk pattern of a widow but just can’t quite be 100% sure.

I’ve seen many black widows, but just nothing quite like this

The photo, the spider is a little crunched up because I sprayed him with bug spray.

He was under a wood pallet where I had a delivery of bags of pine mulch delivered.

LOL “nope” what?
Innocent spider ?

 

[Jetronic]

It looks like a 3rd gen Alfa Romeo to me.


No idea on the Arachnid.

I think they’re actually known as “False Black Widows”.

 

[DBMaster]

Steatoda nobilis, or false widow. It's a cob web spider.

 

[wavinwayne]

Shelob. Treat affected area liberally with Thermite and walk away.

 

[Bottom_Feeder]

Just a spider being a spider. No need to kill it.

That would be an Imedius Steponits

Lived in North Carolina all my life. Never seen a spider like that one. It’s probably not deadly. You’d just loose a leg or an arm if it were to bite you. Spray the area well. May be a native of where the mulch was bagged…

I sprayed him with bug spray.

That's a fine How Do You Do?

a.k.a. triangulate cobweb spider

 

[Pterostylis]

The apple image lookup tool suggested Latrodectus variolus

That reminds me that I haven’t posted any images of Bella the redback spider lately.

In case of a spider bite, especially brown recluse, clean the area and treat the area with anti itch cream (Benadryl, diphenhydramine) and triple antibiotic right away. If it gets worse, like an open sore, see a doctor.

An undesirable late model one.
The older boattail Duetto Spyder is the one you want.

Steatoda capensis - is our false Redback....

And head to the ER….unless of course you are hoping to have an area of rotting flesh.
