Looks like a black widow but it's probably not  :-/
There again they usually have more black than red.

Well it certainly looks like the type of spider (and I hate them!!!!) that I came close to in Arizona, with those red stripes, that my American friends said would bite if touched and mean a hospital trip :o :o :o

Remember, in nature very bright colours are a warning of that creatures potential danger. :P :P :P

I'm sure it's not a black widow, someone suggest a "false black widow" or a Grossa, but I'm not convinced

The only difference I can see with the spider you have just posted a picture of is its legs aren't red...

Perhaps he hasn't been out in the sun eh? ;D

That's the bugger!  Cheers!

Even better, it appears to be a male, so I can stop worrying about the offspring!

OOF delivers yet again!

Reading a bit further it seams to hail from slightly warmer climbs than ours. Has anyone in the house been abroad recently ? or is it part of global warming !!!
