Curious to know what species of spider it is since it has big fangs for a little spider.
Hi, this is a male False Widow, Steatoda borealis. The projections are not fangs, they’re called pedipalps and are enlarged on mature male spiders. 🙂
Thank you so much! When I saw the pedipalps I instantly thought of my kids and what it could do. Now I feel a lot better, thank you again!
