I found two very different spiders under my diving board today. Wondering what they are if anyone knows #1 Super small. Body was the size of a pin prick and black in color. Bright red legs. Looked like a black dot with legs. Just extremely small. #2 The body butt thing was huge compared to the head. About a 1/4" ball. White or very light grey in color with two faint white stripes going from head to toe if you will, and a small black dot on each side of it. Legs were darker in color. It was shaped like a black widow. These just didn't look friendly. |

Did you notice what the web was shaped/organized like?
Were both spiders in the same web? Maybe a brown widow (not black) and its mate. Otherwise I would say some variant of an orb spider, but under a diving board isn't exactly where they'd normally set up shop. Did it have this leg pattern?
