Comments & ID Thoughts

I was washing an old plastic container and it was hiding with it's eggs under the containers handle. So the picture I have of it, it was halfway drowned so it was curled up. Based on other pictures I see here, my guess is it's an Omega Daddy Long legs.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Brown Widow (Latrodectus geometricus). I’m not sure that’s eggs she has, it might be prey. Or maybe she’s eating an egg sac that didn’t hatch, I can’t tell.
