Black Widow?
WTB,
I have had this big spider living outside of my front door for over a week and then tonight I saw the red hourglass marking and thought it may be a black widow, but as seen in the picture it is not completely black. Is this still as dangerous as I think? Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Black Widows are often not black until they attain adulthood. This Black Widow is immature or a male spider.
