i recently found this spider in the house, i am from the UK (carmarthenshire) and have done my best to try and identify it. i and no-one in the household has ever come across a spider quite as vibrant as this. he measures about 1.5cm from leg I to leg IV (tip to tip) and his main body I.e Head, Fovea, Thorax, Abdomen is about 0.6cm. the underside pictures which i have taken are not a lack of light, the underside of his abdomen is actually grey with a black underside cardiac mark; around the cardiac mark is a circle of white and then the grey. i am sorry if the pictures are not completely in focus. if you would be so kind to write back to me at this e-mail address it would be appriciated, many thanks

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 |

Teresia found out that is is

crab spider family.

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

It
is Enoplognatha ovata, a member of the comb
footed spider Family Theridiidae of which redbacks are also a
member. glen

Found this interesting looking spider today, not something
that I'm familiar with. (Also found your site while trying to
identify it..) My closest guess would either be some sort of
common house spider, or a variation of the brown widow. I've
seen plenty of black widow's before, and this spider has the
same look, just a different color scheme. Anyway, if you happen
to know what it is, I'd love to know. This was found in Seattle,
WA.

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
26 August, 2005:
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! |
