I found this little lady making her home in my big white phal, so I snapped a pic. Enjoy

If she can catch the moth that would pollinate it, she can keep it, lol!

Watch out this spider is probably poisons by its back shape and legs don't get bite!
Reminds me the black widow

Haha, she's no bigger than the head of a pin, and is completely harmless. Definitely not a black widow, lol. Her rounded abdomen indicates that she is a female. Males have much narrower abdomens.

That is cute. I have a little gray jumping spider on my orchids that came in with the orchids in the fall. It hides most of the time but every once in a while, I catch a glimpse as it tries to pretend to be very small and invisible.

I have several outdoor spiders and some European Stinkbugs wandering in my collection!

BTW, all spiders are venomous but most are extremely hesitant to bite. Just a few are poisonous to folks.

So cute!
I love spiders. Just not on me.

Doesn't really read widow to me, but what do I know?
Black widows are some of my favorites. Despite their reputation, they are extremely shy well behaved spiders.
Being bit sucks though. 8 bites later, and I still shove my hand into dark places without thinking.

In Sou. Ill. Southern Black Widows are extremely numerous in the "wild" undergrowth and I have camped out a lot in and out of a tent! The only way to get bitten seems to be to mess with a female while she is Guarding her eggsack. Their webs are very diagnostic, so I have collected a few in my years teaching natural History to kids. Again, it is hard to get most species of spiders to bite.
