Theres a yellowish oval on its cephalothorax(head). It looks somewhat like a Garden Spider. In the coloring(more black though) but its shape is much narrower. Also it sticks its butt up(menacing almost) whenever you try to stick your hand near it... (it looks somewhat brown maybe)

  1. If it doesnt go away then kill it, unless you want to be all nice about it, better safe than sorry plus if it stays in your home its gonna lay eggs. Not a pretty sight. [I saw this spider in my house and the egg sack broke open and I swear it was like 100 tiny spiders going Everywhere!! Then I had spiders all ove the house...]


  2. They are golden orb web spiders. they create big webs and are quite spectacular. I get them in my garden all the time and they are harmless, well they are over here in britain. Just put them back where you found them and leave them be

  3. Identify your spider here -

  4. Catch the spiders and remove them to the outdoors!  From the description, the spiders don't appear to be dangerous.  All spiders can bite but only the black widow and brown recluse cause serious bites.

    If you want to identify the spider, visit the library or take a specimen to the closest university with a zoology department.
