Latrodectus variolus
Spider was brown and very big.
New Jersey
The spider was in the bathroom and I edited the picture to be darker.
I had a similar experience when I decided to try out my new macro lens on one of the spiders in our bathroom - which turned out to be a venomous brown recluse! Luckily spiders rarely bite people unless they feel threatened though it's probably a good idea to evict this little guy!
Just looked up the spider to double check and it defiantly was! I would I never guess I was taken a picture of a type of black widow that's crazy!! I was so close to it hah
Possibly an immature Northern black widow (Latrodectus variolus) http://www.venombyte.com/venom/spiders/n...
