Spider identification
The northern black widow spider (Latrodectus variolus) can have a series of red spots or a red stripe on its back - https://pestid.msu.edu/insects-and-arthropods/northern-black-widow-spider-latrodectus-variolus/
Can you please help me identify this spider?
This is a wolf spider (family Lycosidae) - not dangerous to humans. In the future, PLEASE start a new thread rather than 'hitchhiking' on an existing one...
Will do. Thank you very much!
