I keep finding these furry black spiders with a white spot on its back, by the front door on the wall.?

Question

I live in lower new mexico by texas.

Answer 1

If it is furry, it is NOT a black widow.  They are VERY shiny

black - not a hair in sight.  Where we live there is a hairy spider called a wolf spider that is not poisonous, but looks very scary and reminds me of a tarantula.  You should find out

what kinds of spiders live in your area. I would not mess with these things til you know for sure, unless it is to kill them.

Answer 2

it could be a black widow... not sure how it goes, but either the female or male have a white spot on its back and the other gender has a red spot... dangerous! you should get some poison spray!
