Spider help.?

Question

this spider is very small (i think its a baby). on its back it looks like it has a white skull or face.

Answer 1

Don't let the above poster freak you out. If you do a search of "werewolf spider", guess what...nothing comes up. Because it doesn't exist.

If you are in the US, there are really only 2 spiders that should concern you-the black widow and brown recluse. And neither has white on it. I can't identify your spider with what little info you gave (ie your location, its other colors), but it is most likely harmless, so let it be. There are over 11,000 spiders in the US, and only a couple are harmful to people, so don't fret.

Answer 2

That's an interesting description, but I'm afraid not enough to go on: we don't really know what "small" is in this case, and we could also use as much other information as possible. So, how big is it (as big as a dime or a quarter? smaller than a thumbtack?), what color is it mostly (all-purple? green in front, red in back?), are there any other color patches, what shape is it (long and thin? wide and round? square front & teardrop back?), how fast does it move, is it associated with a web or a shelter of some sort, is there anything else about it that you notice, and of course where is this spider located (you've got different choicees in Australia than you do in Iceland).

Answer 3

if its has a brown and black body and had white by its face then its a warewolf spider...kill it because they are flesh eating spiders and they have poision in them because one was chewing at my left and it was itchy and i scratched it and i had to go to the hospitall because the poision spread through my body.... if i waited another day i would have probably had a heart attack and died thats what my dr told me...i was so scared i torched all the bastards with a propane tank...lol i also had my house bombed with bug spray
