I took another photo using a flash and there was a spot on its back that appeared luminescent. Husband said the marking that was reflective appeared to be a cross like shape.
Anyone have any idea what type of spider? I’m thinking a fishing spider, but would like to know mostly if I need to be worried about large poisonous spiders, as I have a small child who is eager to play in the backyard…….
