The False Black Widow spider is a small, shiny spider that can be found in many places around your home! They are often mistaken for their more dangerous cousins, but they are generally harmless to humans.
生息地: They prefer dark, sheltered areas like basements, garages, and under furniture.
The False Black Widow is a glossy, dark brown to black spider, often with a subtle purple sheen. Females have a pale crescent or triangle on their abdomen, sometimes with lighter spots. It distinctly lacks the bright red hourglass mark seen on true black widows.
