spider

Found this tiny red and black spider in the bathroom. With white and black stripes on the abdomen. Even the legs are striped. I've never seen a spider in my yard before with such striking colors. It's a little ground spider! Small enough that the page of info I read said they're often mistaken for ants at first glance.

Oh wow! I've never seen a spider with those colors before! You should see the ugly monsters I have crawling around my apartment :p

Yeah we usually have plan brown ones, too. Even the wolf spiders in the garden which I like are dull colors.

Thank you for posting this. I have this visitor in my office and feel better about him now.
