I realized when I stepped outside this morning that around the frame of my front door there's webbing. I took a stick up into the corner where it looked like there was an egg sac hanging so I squished it and came across this little guy. I recorded a video so I could get a few pictures because he/she was moving fast as I'm sure I either scared or upset it. I need to know what kind of spider this is and if I should worry about more and them being dangerous or not as I have 2 children under 2 years old. Please let me know what kind this is! Thanks.
CLOSED: NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF SPIDER THIS IS!
This spider is harmless to humans. It is a male cobweb/comb-footed spider (family Theridiidae); it looks like Enoplognatha ovata, a species found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Its markings are extremely variable. See http://www.spiderzrule.com/714/3.jpg for an example of a female specimen.
Thank you very much!
