I think it’s just a normal spider carrying a water droplet.

Or a giant spider carrying an eggplant.

Its the elusive J-Lo spider known for its large brown ass.

Knowing what region of what country may help someone identify it.

not knowing what region it’s from, my best guess is an orb weaver.

It’s a female black widow. If you see one, run like hell. And whatever you do, don’t marry it.
(Actually, I have no idea what it is, but it does look a bit like a black widow.)

One of those tasty “honey-dew” spiders right?
Or is that ants…..

fail observational skills are fail

I know what it is!! Its a soon-to-be-smashed-under-my-boot-spider closely related to the kill-it-with-fire spider of Columbia

100% NOT a black widow. I live in the desert (Las Vegas) and Black Widows are native here and they invade anything that hasn’t seen light in over 24 hours.
This is a type of orb spider found down south around Georgia and Alabama.

I was wrong. It’s called a “False Black Widow Spider,” a type of Australian orb spider that is often mistaken for a black widow. We were ALL right

“We were ALL right

Except for the idiot who said it was a spider carrying a water droplet. Cuz it is so very hard to see the little hairs all over it.

@DemolitionsGeek
The black widow is not limited to the desert. I lived in FL for four years, and our house was infested with black and brown widows. brown widows are twice as venomous, and half as aggressive. i guess that cancels out(?_)
