Spotting

Description:

Very small red and black spider with one band of gold/tan around his abdomen. I thought he was a largish ant when I was photographing him. It wasn't until I blew up the shot that I realized there were only two body parts and eight legs.

Today I found two of these in my house within five minutes of each other, walking on the same path. Later on, I found another in my bedroom. I'm very curious on what these really are.. I also noticed that you say this one is in aurora, and I'm in davenport, ia. So that probably has something to do with it.
