Hello, little drifter! This is a triangulate combfoot, I believe!
A beautiful triangulate combfoot and her prey. I believe the little white specs on her abdomen are guanine crystals but don't quote me on that. They just make such a great pattern on her.
Found on my bathroom in central Indiana, US. iNaturalist says it’s a triangulate combfoot? This is the best quality pic I could get the little buddy would not stay still lol
It does indeed look like a lil male Steatoda triangulosa :) Cute lil guy
@sir-hiss submitted: Hi there! The submissions had me stuck in a loop but I am hoping you can help identify a very pretty spider. I unintentionally disturbed a lot of these and their egg sacs today in a garage in [removed] (kindly remove the location please). The spiders were a shiny, reddish brown, all with the same pattern of white spots, and smaller than a dime. Thank you for your help!
Ohhhh she is very thick, good for her. She and likely her friends are triangulate combfoots, which are a type of false widow in the genus Steatoda.
@sylvanticus submitted: Found this glossy lad in the tub, he lost a leg unfortunately! I'm not entirely sure what he is, some kind of false widow? Found in Idaho
Yup, looks like a triangulate combfoot, which is one of the false widows in the genus Steatoda :)
@theonlythingimfuckingisstupid submitted: Hi! I found this lovely lady in my friends house and I think she’s an orbweaver of sorts but am not quite sure what exactly? Could you help me out? I’m keeping her and doing my research tonight (found in northwest ks)
Hello :) Looks like a cobweb spider (Theridiidae) rather than an orbweaver to me. Maybe a triangulate combfoot, Steatoda triangulosa.
@donovan-shepard submitted: Found this pretty friend while cleaning my garage. My hand for scale! Would love to know what flavor of spider it is! 🤪 Logan, Utah.
Ummmmmm cappuccino flavored, I would bet. And she is a triangulate combfoot, which is one of the false widows in the genus Steatoda :)
