Spider identification please Anonymous
Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? I'm in the Los Angeles area (San Fernando Valley). They varied in size. The one in the photo was about 1.25-1.5 inch legspan from front to back. They came as small as about half that.

Also, found a bunch of spiders that looked fairly similar from a few feet away, that were white with black markings and between .25 inch and .5 inches long. They moved way too fast for me to take a picture.

Some kind of widow spider

nothing in that photo points to it being a widow...yes all of the spieces of widows have the distinct red hourglass. probably just an ordinary orbweaver

She was obviously going to some kind of black-tie event.

I honestly can't say if it's just a mutated pattern for a marbled orb-weaver or an immature widow.

where was the spider found? not geographically, but like was it under a rock or in a shed or running around on the ground?

first off.. the side pictured is not the side that would have the hourglass..

That spider looks tasty.
Like a tiny marbled chocolate.

I was cleaning the spider webs from under the wooden chairs outside. There were about 30% of the pictured spiders, 65% of the one with a white abdomen with black markings, and 5% black widows.

Thanks. It looks exactly the same. Okay, so the reason we don't have a ton of black widows like I'm used to is that we have a ton of young black widows...Great...
