CANDY STRIPE SPIDERS

8 September, 2009:
Glen I have found some pretty different spiders here in Eastern Maine this year. Found two that I was hoping someone could identify. Think one may be a marbled orb and no idea on second one. The one I believe to be marbled orb is about side of fifty cent piece with legs. The white and pink one is about the size of quarter with its legs. Thank you in advance for your time, Janet,  Downeast Maine

Good Morning.....My name is Pat Adams and my Wife found a spider in our bathroom that I cannot identify. Maybe he or she is a common one....I just couldn't find it online. Could you take a look at this picture and tell me what you think? Thanks so much.....Sincerely, Pat and Denise Adams. Oak Harbor, Wa.

I live in Portland, Oregon and found this spider in one of my corn stocks. Would you know what type of spider this is? I have spent all after noon looking for it on the web and have not found anything on this type. Thank you for your help. Teresia

22 July, 2006:Thanks for the response Glen - did some digging at the library yesterday and found that its most likely Enoplognatha ovata. Dave
Reply: They are a member of the comb footed spider Family Theridiidae of which redbacks are also a member. glen

Hey Glen, I live in the UK and am stumped with this spider which I found in my back yard yesterday, its unlike anything I've come across before and can't identify it from internet comparisons.... Have you ever seen this type before? Help much appreciated.... (Feel free to post the images on your web site if they can be of use to you)... Dave.

Reply: To the couple in Portland Oregon with the 3 spiders....the one that's white and red is called enoplognatha ovata ...Ciao!! Julie

My fiancee and I have these 3 spiders, and others, claiming the outside of our apartment door home. We live in the Portland Metro Area of Oregon. Not too worried about these guys being poisonous. But my fiancee and I are curious as to what type of spider they are. I looked up many sites, and the closest i could find could possibly be a type of common house spider. But, don't really share the same markings. Quite interesting little things. The white one with the red markings on its back seems to be missing a couple legs, and has a somewhat clear body. The little guy just below the white one, I found crawling up towards the bigger one thats kinda stuffed its self in the corner, and when it reached the slightly bigger one, it wasn't too happy. They look like they get roughly about the size of a nickel. Possibly belong to the same family? If you could let me know who these guys, or girls, are, it would be awesome! Enjoy posting these if ya want to! Thanx!
