Is this a black widow?

Is this a black widow?

We went to the pumpkin patch and while we were looking for a pumpkin we spotted this beauty on a web made around the stem of the pumpkin. Luckily we saw it before grabbing it.

Looking for Urchin care... found on my leg after cleaning up outside. Fairly sure it's a False Widow/Cupboard Spider or Two-spotted Cobweb Spider. But not dangerous whatever it is. In Salt Lake City, Utah.

SW London- in an external weatherproof box. Originally thought they were house spiders, but the grouping of the front legs looks different.

Need help identifying a spider I found

I live in utah and saw this guy's huge spiral web and was curious on what kind it is. I think it's an orb weaver but if anyone can tell me what it is specifically it would be appreciated.

Identify this spider, please? Western NC, USA

I've been seeing lots of these black (I know it looks lighter, bit I'm using a strong flashlight) glossy/shiny spiders around my house at night.Tis the season right now, I know.

I'd like to get an ID on this one. I added an image below that better shows the color, but I thought this would be better ince i can only have one photo in the post.

I am generally a spider friend and appreciate the pest control, but I would like to make sure it isn't something medically significant to a smaller dog.

I haven't seen an hourglass, but do feel I have seen a pair of dots on a few, all similar in size, shape, and color.

Thank you in advance!

Seemed very polite. Didn't take a defensive stance when approached. Did not harm but would like to know if I should remove in the future :)

USA - Mountain West. Tiny spidey.

It's very small. I can't quite figure out if it's brown/black widow and if it's male or female. Or it could be something else?

What is this spider??

I know he’s a little hard to see against the pavement but this is a light coloured spider, had a big almost triangular body, and visible hairs on its legs. I thought it was a crab at first! Spotted in northern BC Canada. What is it??

I feel horrible, I tried to move it outside, but it charged at me (I could only imagine how I would react it a giant was relocating me), and it met a swift but untimely demise. I know they're helpful housemates, but Jesus-fruitcake-eating-Christ...
