Hello,
A newbie here requests your help identifying two spiders recently found on my property about 20 miles north of Baltimore , Maryland, Zipcode 21093. The first image shows a large tan and brown spider in size relation to a quarter. The second shows the same spider closer-up in detail. The third image is less clear. About 3/8" long, this otherwise black spider had a dull orange (not red) mark on its back which resembled half of the classic "hourglass" mark of a black widow. Your analysis/advice will help determine whether I need to call in professional help or "leave them be". Thanks.
