Is this the infamous Black Widow or an imposter?
Found this in the back yard today.

A few Google image searches makes me think a male BW?
Skinnier rear & more of a pattern than an hourglass.

Doesn't really look like any of the female black widows that I've seen in the states which the females are what you would have to worry about.

Looks more like an orchard spider to me. A member of the orb weaver family.

Im not 100% on this one, but im pretty sure that is a male Northern Black Widow. Im not positive because we dont have them around here and im going off the pictures.

All the male black widows I have seen have a different more rounded shaped abdomen...different red pattern and faint red joints on the legs...that to me looks like an imposter named Stan Smile

Maybe a widow that failed art class.

Dead fookin' spider.

IMO it taint near flat enough. Got bit by a Brown Recluse once and now any spider I see is just a blob of mush.


I've stopped counting.
