I have a lot of small black spiders. They have short legs and they jump. Any idea what kind they are?

Hello, I am wondering if there are any other spiders in Edmonton/Alberta area that are all black and shiny with a round abdomen besides the black widow.

Hey I have a few spiders living in my camper,last month they were gray, now there dark ,kind of :-) flat,and resemble a tic kinda,,front 4 legs are always together, they sit on my ceiling and when a fly gets close it jumps on the fly and kills it then drops it to the floor, any ideal what kind it is?

Maxine your spider is likely some sort of ground spider (Gnaphosidae) They can cause a painful bite nothing too serious. Its definitely not a redback spider there are no redback spiders in north America they are only found in Australia and as far north as southern Japan.

After many Google searches, both text and image, and not finding the spider I have on my shed I finally found it right here (marbled spider 5a) Beautiful marble spider that I had inspirationally named Red legs, white body, black dot. The only difference between mine and the one in the photo here is the black dot on mine seems to be an actual dot but maybe I can only see part of it. I do not poke at it and it doesn't deny access to the shed!

I just found a spider in my duaghters play area in the basement and I was not something I have ever seen. It was as small as the tip of a pinky finger. Red in color but it look like a tiny crab and when I would get near it it would bring its legs in under it's body like it was crouching down. Wondering what it is.

Found a spider up in Swan Hills, curious to what kind it is. Body was about the size of a loonie. Very long legs. Torso Seemed to be more tear drop shaped vs. Being circular or oval shaped. A very vibrante green with sum darker shades and a little bit of blue and light green almost yellow even. Very nice looking, can't find a pic that matches it. JC

Maxine, Research the Red Back Spider and see if it looks the same. The spider bite symptoms sounds similar to this spider.

hi i'm trying to igure out what kind of spider that occupies my aunts home. The spider is small and black with red on the back end.It;s a little bit larger than a ant. there is quite a bit in the basement and the spider bites cause large pus filled welts that stay for weeks on end. This is in alberta. I hope you can help me thanks.

I just want to say thanks for your great page. I found a very strange scary looking spider in my 3 yr. old's car seat of all places.Having never seen anything like it & worried it may be poisinous I searched all over the net for a visual matching what I found not finding any I sent an email to U.B.C. & got a response from them. Ggnaphosid spider is what they tell me so I searched up the name and I found your pic. All is the same but a color variance with the one I found. Thanks for helping to put a worried Mom at ease.
