((TJ)) I thought it was on their underside, that's why it's hard to tell until, well you're too close...

K so I found this:

Here are some possibilities. I don't know if that is what you killed because some other spiders have red spots. The common jumping spider is black and fuzzy with a red spot on the back of its abdomen.

The northern black widow has a row of red spots located in the middle of its back and two reddish triangles resembling an hourglass on the underside of the abdomen.
The red widow spider has a reddish orange head-thorax and legs with a black abdomen. The abdomen may have a dorsal row of red spots with a yellow border. The red widow lacks a complete hourglass under the abdomen, but may have one or two red spots.

Do a google image search for northern black widow. There are some good pictures there.



I dont know if its true...

The redbacked jumping spider (Phidippus johnsoni) is one of the largest and most commonly encountered jumping spiders of western North America. It is not to be confused with the unrelated and highly venomous redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti). When threatened, the redbacked jumping spider can inflict a quite painful bite in self defense, but with no serious medical consequences.

The picture (when I Googled it) showed a large red patch on its back though, so not sure this is the right spider.

There is one in Australia that is highly poisonous.

I thought black widow at first, but don't know if the patch is on their back or underside, may want to Google it to be sure.
Good luck. noway :wink:

i dont know but you just dont want to get bitten by it. my daughter got bitten by a hobes spider several yrs ago and when she got bitten she couldnt walk she had to drain the poison out. and my youngest granddaughter got bitten by one and we had to drain that where it left a fever in her leg..
