What is this?
Found this guy outside my door this morning. No idea what it is but a friend suggested brown widow. Any other ideas?

Re: What is this?
It's not a Brown Widow, they have longer, hairless legs. It looks like an Orb Weaver of some kind, possibly a Furrow Spider ( Larinioides sp.). There is a guy on Facebook by the name of Nathan, he runs a group called Antman's Hill (TM). He'd know much more about it than I do.

Re: What is this?
It seemed to have a 'normal' spiral web, but it was very large. Als9, I do not have a FB ^_^;;

Re: What is this?
Oh lol, well with a web like that it is definitely an Orb Weaver. Narrowing it down to the exact species is beyond me though. I'll stick to my Furrow Spider guess.

Re: What is this?
Are they particularly dangerous to have around?I'd like to keep it around for all the mosquitoes and other bugs but with my other pets in the area I'd rather not risk a bite if it's bad. =/

Nah, they're harmless. You'd have to handle it to get bit anyway, and even then it probably wouldn't bite unless you squeezed it or restrained it in some way. I've walked through countless webs while herping and what not and never been bit.

Also an Orb Weaver, possibly Argiope appensa. The smaller one is a male hoping to hook up with the much larger female.
