its black or very dark brown, its got white spots on its back,
as you can see its impossible to get a clear shot for some reason.
im concerned cause i found tons of babies in my garage, and where i live is where abunch of northern black widows have been found recently.
one lady was actually bit last week.
What kind of spider ?
The image is too blurry for a positive i.d.; about all I can say is that it is in the same family as the widow spiders (Theridiidae), but is not a dangerous species.
thats what i thought too..
only the dark black widow, with the red spots or orange yellow spots on the back are dangerous correct?
That is correct. To the best of my knowledge, the northern black widow spider (Latrodectus variolus) is the only species in Ontario that would pose a danger to humans.
