I saw a Spider that looks like a small Black Widow, but where the red hourglass on its butt is, was a yellow one. Does anyone have any info on this?

We live in Canada and the spider has a yellow hourglass image on its back, so we've been looking for it but no luck yet. Any info at all would help.

Sounds like a black widow I had one in my car one time. Check out this website http://www.nobuggy.com/spiders_in_oregon.html

It may well be a Black widow, however the "hourglass" marking is on the"underside". Some will have an identical colored spot on their backside. Also a little known fact is that they are not always black, they can be gray or brown as well. Another telltale is the web, usually very messy in construction as well as being very strong--they used the webs in WW-II for scope crosshairs.

this is quoted from a website i ran across: "The male is small and greyish while the much larger female is usually a glossy black, with a red (though sometimes orange or even yellow) hourglass marking beneath her bulbous shiny abdomen." So apparently it is a black widow, hopefully this helped.

I have simply observed a nest, in my lawn, of what looks to be one hundred's of little yellow and black spiders newly hatched...Never noticeable them earlier than in my existence.... Being somewhat concerned (Yellow and Black is regularly natures caution signal) I have performed a quantity of searches... After trawling the online it looks it might be be a style of Argiope (black and yellow lawn spider) nonetheless that's a US spider and I am residing within the UK... Further shopping shows their is a 'Wasp Spider' that is observed in Contienial Europe and frequently the South Coast of England... Which remains to be a thriller as I reside within the Midlands(England - UK) that is miles from the any coast allow most effective the South Coast.... Should I be charging individuals to return and consult with my Garden to look this infrequent web site or is there one other style of spider out right here? They aren't detrimental to folks are they I believe??? - my mum could be very anxiouis!!! Damon
