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

P250UA5A few Google image searches makes me think a male BW?
Skinnier rear & more of a pattern than an hourglass.

TavmanDoesn'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.

BisleyblackhawkAll 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

Scooter123IMO 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.
