there is a big spider on my window i wood like to now if its a venomous spiders end i live in northern california
ID this spider?
all spiders are venomous, but relatively few are dangerous to humans
in northern cal., you've only the black widow and brown recluse (probably rare up there)
they are both classic, easy to recognize spiders
their bites are serious, and need medical attention, but usually not life
threatening to healthy humans.
it is possible for small children, olds, and people who may be allergic to them
to be in deep trouble
everything else would give you a tiny red bump, if anything,
if they were even able to bite you, . . . no worries
that is an Orb Weaver, genus Araneus, ... a friend, and good neighbor

Oh thank you... you are a great help...
Can you identify this black and red spider in my garage, yesterday, near Charlotte, NC.
It's called a velvet ant but in truth it is not an ant, but a walking wasp and DON'T let it bite you or your pets!
That wasp give me chills just to look at it! I am sooooo allergic to them!
Here in coastal Mississippi, we have more spiders than I could count! Kill black widows, brown widows, and brown recluse. Leave the others alone; they don't bother me! I especially love watching weave their webs! Beautiful and so unique!
