#triangulate combfoot

@theonlythingimfuckingisstupid submitted: Hi! I found this lovely lady in my friends house and I think she’s an orbweaver of sorts but am not quite sure what exactly? Could you help me out? I’m keeping her and doing my research tonight (found in northwest ks)

Hello :) Looks like a cobweb spider (Theridiidae) rather than an orbweaver to me. Maybe a triangulate combfoot, Steatoda triangulosa.

WARNING! SPOODER! 🕷️🕷️🕷️

Check out this dude I found in my house!

I dug a little deeper to find out what he is because our house is full of these guys and their babies, but there's too many to kill and not enough to hire an exterminator.

He's a triangulate combfoot. And while in the same family as widow spiders he is not venomous! He's just a little guy!

Picture I took:

Picture google gave me:

A beautiful triangulate combfoot and her prey. I believe the little white specs on her abdomen are guanine crystals but don't quote me on that. They just make such a great pattern on her.

Anyone:

How has the pandemic changed you?

Looks like you have a False Widow spider (Genus Steatoda) there! These are cobweb spiders (Family Theridiidae) that look similar to widows (Genus Latrodectus), but their anatomy is slightly different. Unlike Widows, False Widows do not have medically significant venom.

One of the most common false widows is the Triangulate Combfoot. This spider is fairly small, but it’s very common throughout North America. Here are a few I have seen:

Left: Triangulate Combfoot spider eats Brown Widow eggs (*gasp!*) Center: Triangulate Combfoot chillin Right: Triangulate Combfoot hanging out with a million of her eggs on the front of my house

I think you may have Steatoda grossa, the False Black Widow. Check out this comparison from Bugguide [link to photo source] alongside your photo:

A very nice spider! I hope I see one someday :3

@donovan-shepard submitted: Found this pretty friend while cleaning my garage. My hand for scale! Would love to know what flavor of spider it is! 🤪 Logan, Utah.

Ummmmmm cappuccino flavored, I would bet. And she is a triangulate combfoot, which is one of the false widows in the genus Steatoda :)

@vespertinecat submitted: Hi there! I just thought that now that submissions are open, I'd send in my collection of photos for everyone to see. This isn't exhaustive, and I have many photos of these (or multiples of the same species/at different stages), but here's a nice collection of them identified to the best of my ability! All of these are taken in North Texas.

1. Yellow garden spider.

2. Wolf spider, specific species unknown; if you know, I'd love to know as well!

3. The same wolf spider with coin for scale. They were released outside afterwards.

4. Spotted orbweaver; this picture was tough to get due to any little breeze shaking her entire web.

5. The same spotted orbweaver with her web illuminated! Every single day she took it down, then at night she put this magnificent web back up again! This thing was a couple feet in length overall. Absolutely impressive from such a little spider.

6. This, my dear friends, is a bedbug. I have photos of various sizes and such. You don't want to know. Don't ask. You can ask to see the other bugs, though.

7. Unknown cobweb spider. Unfortunately, onenicebug and I weren't able to identify this one, but there's a whole family of them living in one of our bathrooms. We no longer have gnats.

8. Resh Cicada. To the best of my knowledge, this is a Resh. It was just hanging out on my house, chilling. Probably taunting the yellow garden spider below; who knows.

Hello! This is indeed a great collection. The wolfie is a rabid wolf spider. Beautiful and impressive orb web on the next photos, though! What an industrious woman. I'd guess triangulate combfoot on the cobweb spider, but I think I told you before it's difficult without a better angle. Nice of them to keep down the gnat population either way! And the last dude does look like a resh cicada as far as I can tell just from the one photo :)

@organcornucopia submitted: Wondering about this fella in my bathroom ([removed]. Remove location, please, and thank you).

Bathroom friend! Spiders have no sense of privacy but we still love them. It's a false widow in the genus Steatoda - looks like Steatoda triangulosa, the triangulate combfoot or triangulate cobweb spider :)

@im-significant​ submitted: had a lot of trouble getting a good shot of this little guy but we found a guest in our storage unit ([removed], remove location pls). don't know if it's close enough or clear enough for an ID but i'd love one if it is. they were small, maybe a little over a centimeter including legs, and varying shades of brown with some sort of zig-zag or geometric pattern on the abdomen. i wish i could have gotten a clear shot of that pattern!

we have heated storage so this friend is probably hanging out for the winter, im scared of spiders but trying to get better abt it so i have decided i like this ones Roundness and funny fashion.

Ohhhh she thicc. I love her. She’s a cobweb spider in the family Theridiidae, most likely a false widow in the genus Steatoda, and given your description of the geometric pattern on her abdomen, I’d say there’s a good chance she’s a triangulate combfoot, but I’d need to see the markings on her abdomen clearly to confirm that. If she is a triangulate combfoot, it’s very common to find them inside houses and other dwellings even in the summer, so winter doesn’t have much to do with it! I had one that lived in my closet for quite some time :)

@milk-bong submitted: Two really cool spiders I found in my house! The fuzz! The patterned backs! The roundness! Effervescent.

Could you ID them if you please? My location is [removed] (please remove location)

Ohhh my gosh what a ROTUND pair of ladies. I love them both deeply. The jumper lady looks like Menemerus semilimbatus and the cobweb spidie is a triangulate combfoot :)

@tiktaaliker submitted: found this pretty girlie(?) climbing the walls of my bathroom this morning! got excited because a) i just really like spiders and b) i usually only spot house or wolf spiders here and this fellow just looks neat! unfortunately these were the best pictures i managed to take, they were on the move so most ended up unfocused or blurry. I'm pretty sure they're a triangulate cobweb spider based on the pattern and my location, but I'm no spider expert so I'm not quite sure! found in northern Illinois.

Yes, she’s a triangulate cobweb spider/triangulate combfoot, Steatoda triangulosa. And definitely a female with a booty like that!

All of these little guys were found in various parks in New York State! I’m especially curious about the spiders, because google search hasn’t done me any favors on the matter.

(I know that one is a Luna moth, I just thought you’d appreciate the pic. Is it true they have no stomach?)

An excellent collection of pals! I love them all. In order, a tussock moth in the genus Halysidota, the luna of course, an ailanthus webworm moth, a goldenrod crab spider, and a triangulate combfoot spider :)

And yes it's true lunas and other Saturniids don't have digestive tracts as they do not eat as adults and only live about a week, just long enough to reproduce :)

@brainstirfry submitted: found this very pretty little guy at work and took him outside. I was wondering what species it is, I personally love this 'shape' with the perfectly sphere abdomen and little sharp legs. please remove: [removed]

This pretty little guy is almost definitely a pretty little lady with a rump like that. She's a triangulate combfoot! And I love her.
