I found two spiders in my yard that are about and inch long and are red on one half of their body and the other half is clear. Can you please tell me if they are dangerous or just garden spiders?

I found a spider on my school locker it was all black with a furry body and an orange diamond on the bottom. It freaked me out when I looked up to find it just sitting there staring straight ahead. It creeped me out so I smashed it up. I looked it up and can’t find what it is anybody know?

@ april,

The spider could be these certain types, black widow, or a wolf spider. Where you like i think the best closet spider would be a black widow.

Today I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror, I turn around to reach for my wash cloth and a huge black spider was on the edge of the tub. At first i thought it was fake but then it began to move. I didn’t quite get a good look at it because i was terrified so I killed it with raid. I live in Philadelphia, PA. Please Tell Me What Kind Of Spider It Was.

Before winter came, i woke with one on my arm… i didn’t get bit, but spring is back and now there everywhere! I was wondering at first if is was something like a hobo spider, giant house spider, something like that… its black(or just a very dark brown), it is not skinny, but definitely not stubby, legs are same color, still not skinny but slightly long, not straight, and the two huge front legs that are bent, there are no tiny feet-like bends on the end of the legs, its lower abdomen is not sac shaped or extremely large, but probably the same size as its upper abdomen, but i cant remember too much about the tiny details because im too afraid to even be in the same room, but the underside is the same color as the top, and there’s no other color, and if there is white, its really tiny and not obvious. It could probably fit on a nickel(maybe smaller). It stays on the ground, i dont see any webs, they run slightly fast, there almost never in the open(unless running), usually next to something or in between things. I live in Utah.

I have spiders in my bedroon. They have orange circle on back and orangee brown legs and seem to disapear in light. I have tried to catch them but cannot. They have not bitten yet. One woke me up and was in my nose and I blew it out, that is when I got a look at it but disapeared before I could catch it. They have had babies in my ceiling light/fan. I want to get rid of them, please help. These spiders do not leave webs but do crawl on them.

I really need to know what kind of spider this is, I can’t find an answer anywhere. I took a picture of it in Greensboro, NC in a forest. It was yellow and orange with black and white legs. It’s body was bulbous and maybe about 2 inches long. Anyone know what it is?

I went to visit my dad for the summer once and decided to go for a walk in the woods out back. I took my phone with me because it had a decent camera on it, and I take pictures of everything. Anyway, I came across this one spider that I had never seen before. it was small, and if I had looked any faster, I would have just assumed it was bird poop, but I stopped because I saw this “bird poop” walk on a web. I watched this spider in awe of its strange body. I had never seen anything like it before. Then when i tried to take a picture of it, the spider was so small that the auto-focus wouldn’t work, so I took a leaf, got it as close behind it as I dared, and took a closeup picture of it. I didn’t know if it was poisonous so I didn’t get too close. I finally decided to do some research on it and found that it was a Spined Micrathena spider.

I saw this weird spider in my house around maybe febuary this year an it was a red-orange with almost a cone shaped body, it had hard outer shell and moved very quickly. Luckily, I killed it after screaming five times.Does any one have a clue what that thing is? I could not find a picture of it on the internet.
