Comments & ID Thoughts

I think it's a black widow of sorts, but it looks like a full grown adult. I've never seen such crazy markings.

Hi. this is a sub adult southern black widow. She will lose much of these dorsal patterns when she molts again. still has that nefarious red hourglass on the venter.

Thanks! I’ve never seen coloring like that on a black widow before, but i knew she had a black widow body.
