Anyone know what kinda spider this was? Ew I've never seen one like it.

I'm not too good at recognising spiders, so I had a look in a book The closest one I can find to it is araneus quadratus, and it looks like that one is a female. The one in my book is a darker brown but it says they can vary in colour and spin beautiful complex webs. Not entirely sure if I'm right but I hope I've helped

Thanks! I really had no idea what kind it was. Ewww Hopefully I dont have any in my house lol.

[mustlovedogs]

Blech! I am a spider freak... I have arachniphobia. I know...fun, huh? Yuck, I don't like spiders at ALL! I literally freak out if I see one!

[Danegirl2208]

ekkk! NO thank you..you can keep it ...i hate spiders, i have know idea what it is

[Aquamarine]

LOL I dont like spiders either and whenever I see one I have to have someone else kill it for me. I just cant kill it myself lol. It might jump on me! Oh and I'm afraid of bees and wasps too! If I see one while I'm outside I run like crazy lol. When I was little I got stung by a bee on my toe!

Last year I posted about this beautiful girl outside on my porch



she is a harmless orbweaver, this year I have at least 7 of them but none that make as beautiful of a web as charlotte did.

It has similar traits and the araneus quadratus looks like an orb weaving type (the types that spin complex geometric webs) however that particular one is only in Europe and Asia and not North America. This one looks like a cobweb weaver (Theridiidae family) rather than of the orb weaver family to me. The size of the abdomen definitely makes her a female. She's pretty . Spiders are fascinating. It's really too bad Hollywood and horror stories have villainized them so much and made them such objects of fear. They are extremely beneficial creatures.

My mother always told me spiders were good luck and I believed her. I find them interesting and don't kill them just in case she was right!

I wish i liked them, but i dont, never have...we have a cabin up in Pine, Arizona..we go up there whenever we can, there are SO many creepy crawleys up there, including tarantulas...ekk..i cant even stand it, i never kill them but they cant be in the house lol..glad i have my boyfriend around to take care of the "big bad spiders" i know, i know..im a big wimp

Just kidding lol spiders are ok as long as there tiny but if there big they better stayaway.

She's a beauty! My guess would be some sort of weaver or garden spider.
