Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

I'm almost positive this is a black widow spider. I was digging around in my garden bed and saw a web in the corner that's next to my porch and then I almost touched the spider before seeing it. Freaked me out! We seem to have a lot of these identical spiders around here alot this past year or so.

It looks like a black widow. I wouldn’t go poking it. XD

The red marking matches the southern black widow. A northern black widow has the red mark broken into two parts.
