just bitten- i’d request

by this spider-I’m on the shore in Connecticut in old Saybrook and was outside eating lunch with my family when I got a searing pain from the bite from the spider. I can’t identify it, I’ve gone to the emergency walk-in in town and they told me to just monitor for symptoms, but can anyone help me identify this? The pain is definitely less than it was when I initially got bitten about an hour ago and the swelling has gone down a bit, but it’s still quite painful and searing the spider itself is a glossy black/brown and very small

Widow?

Is this a widow? I can easily recognize the hourglass on the underside but this spider has a red line and dots down its back and a little larger than a quarter. I can’t get a good view of its underside to see any markings.

If it is a widow, is it safe to relocate? I don’t want to kill it if I don’t have to. Location: Forney, TX

what’s the spider squatting above my front door

hi! i’ve never posted before but the thread seems really helpful. this spider has been lurking in the corner for days and i’ve been scared of if it falls or decides to jump me someday because i walk through that door all the time.

i tried to get the best picture i could of it, could anyone identify ? just concerned if it’s venomous or bites etc.

context: central london, england UK, basement lower ground floor
it’s alive, has been moving its leg, never seen it change position though

thank you!

Plant pot squatting spider! (Southern UK)

More pictures available here and here.

I noticed a mesh of very random looking webbing webbing across the top of a plant pot in the windowsill yesterday and then found the spider down by the plant. It looks to my (very!) untrained eye like it might be a false widow but it's a very pale, almost translucent, brown. There is a darker patterning on the top of it's abdomen but I can't make out quite what it is. The spider itself is very small; around 4mm long excluding it's legs. It seems to have been sitting in that same location now for a couple of days.

Colorado, US. She's a bit larger than a US quarter, with no red hourglass on top of her back. False widow?

The tiny white specks on her back are grains of sand.

This lovely looking spider crawled out of some garden rubbish I was taking to the tip. I've not seen a garden spider so orange!

found this spider in my bathroom, US

It is most likely harmless, but for peace of mind, what kind of spider is it, and should I be concerned? Sorry the picture quality isn't great, any help is much appreciated!

Can someone please help me identify these little spiderlings? My brother thinks they are black widows but I just don’t see how they popped up tremendously within a few days. We live in Victorville Southern California for identifying purposes.

Black Widow?

Posted from Albuquerque, NM. I’m a bit of a ‘fraidy-cat and don’t have the best phone camera, so…sorry for the terrible resolution! Not looking to scare anyone with “medically relevant” spiders…we’re all “used to them” down here, and this feller was outside minding their own business so we just let it be. Just looking for anyone more definitive than us that would weigh in. Kids want to know if they finally found a “real one” or if we’re gonna tell them this was yet another false widow?

What spider is this?

Sorry the photo sucks. Seen in UT. It was small, probably about 1/4 inch? Its abdomen was light with slight patterns. Male black widow?

What kind is this?

I am unfortunately deathly afraid of spiders, and this guy thought it was a fun idea to join me in the shower. Ran out of there with soap in my hair to have a family member relocate him outside. I know absolutely nothing about spiders and we’re all unsure what kind he is? Figured I’d ask here

Located in the Pacific Northwest US
