Spider #365139

Asked September 23, 2016, 3:04 PM EDT

Can you tell me what kind of spider this is?

Menominee County Wisconsin

Expert Response

To me, the large globular abdomen and the proportion of the legs makes it look like a a female spider in the Family Theridiidae. Here is some information on this Family http://bugguide.net/node/view/1960

It is very difficult to identify spiders without the specimen or very detailed photos of the various parts used as diagnostic characters.
