Shebebusynow, I was talking about the Monkey-mind's photos
Isn't that the red hourglass in the 4th picture? (or 3rd if you don't count the brown square where there doesn't seem to be a picture)
Great feat.. to watch this spotting..!!
Monkey-mind, is exactly the red hourglass what characterizes Latrodectus sp. In your pictures does not exist, so, i'm not sure it's Latrodectus sp.
the hour glass that is cute -
i´m absolutely not sure about my spotting. I thought of the widow spider because of the type of web... no matches till now
ohlala inflagrante! take a look at this, I think it could be the same sp.... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/706...
Is that first shot the male on top of the female? It's amazing to see the distinctive red hourglass on such a different-colored spider than the black widow.
