Found this critter while he was making his web on my proch, and dont know if i should do him in or not...
I thought it was a Black or Red Widow at first, but the markings are not hourglasses, and the Abdomen is relatively small (or at least of normative size, not enlarged as in that fo Black Widows).
He appears slightly green in direct sunlight, but I couldn;t get a good shot of him like that that didnt make him sorta glow on my camera.
Warning: Large Image.
