minus-squarechingadera@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoI suspect: Texas Brown Widow Spider (Latrodectus geometricus)
minus-squareCMDR_Horn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoThat’s what it looks like to me, but hard to say from the blur
minus-squarechonglibloodsport@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI think you’re right. It has the dark bands on the leg joints, along with the brown colour and rough body dimensions of a brown widow. These ones are much less dangerous than a black widow and may be displacing black widows from their common habitats.
minus-squarechingadera@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoI was able to see an orange figure on it as well when I took a closer look, thanks guys!
