looks just like one. A good rule of thumb is that if you see a spider with a large glossy body and long spindly legs, it's better to squash it and ask questions later. Wink

You're right. I wish I squashed it.

I started looking into this because we found a black widow in our room a few weeks ago and I was curious if this type of spider was venomous also. Little did I know that it was a black widow also. When I saw it on the garbage can today, I thought I would find out it was some type of garden spider. Glad I took a few snapshots to look it up. Now I'm wondering if there might be an infestation around my house. Last thing I need is my daughter to get bitten by one of these. Sad

Here's what looks like a another match:

Male black widow? Get your bug spray!

Are there any bug experts here that know what kind it is?

You might really consider having a check around your house, brown widows are nocturnal so there might be much more of them hidden.
