Spider expert needed...

[Nufy]

Found one of the little buggers in a bag of grapes this morning.

Small, fuzzy, black, with a red dot on its back.

Google searches have not been helpful...

Any ideas.

That is freaky. hopefully you have already killed it with fire.


Jumping Spider?

Might fall into the harmless helper category, but I would not want to let it live long enough to find out.

Could it be this?

A common black spider with a red spot on its back is the Jumping Spider. It is somewhat fuzzy.

[Sr. Mints]

What you have there is Ungoliant, which in the Sindarin language, means "dark spider." She is also known as Gloomweaver (Sindarin: Gwerlum)

Ungoliant aided the evil Vala, Meklor, in his attack upon the Two Trees of Valinor, draining them of their sap after Melkor injured them. Then, Ungoliant helped Melkor evade the Valar by shrouding them both in her impenetrable darkness, causing blindness and confusion amongst the hosts of the Valar that attempted to intercept them.

In return for her aid, Melkor had promised Ungoliant that he would yield anything she wished, but betrayed this promise by attempting to withhold the Silmarils from her.

This angered Ungoliant, who, having grown immensely powerful from ingesting the life force of the Two Trees, trapped Melkor in her webs. At this point he gave out a cry of such fear and intensity that it was heard in the depths of Angband, and the Balrogs rushed to the aid of their master, scourging Ungoliant with their whips of flame.

Ungoliant's power and size has decreased over the centuries, and is now thought to hide out in grapes.

I think its a jumping spider, I can't seem to find a good picture with a spot on the back.

But its small fuzzy with elongated name and has a red dot.

Usually what it likes to do is wait for a human to fall asleep at night then it jumps on the victims and lays eggs in its anus.

The autopsy will confirm the breed and you might need to go to the proctologist to get the egg sack pulled out of your butt


They're usually about the size of a pool ball and spiked to hold it in place during the gestation period.

[Nufy]

The red dot is actually orange I think.

Freaky turquoise eyes as well.

I think you're confusing an enconuter with Fotze's mom for a spider bite.

Did it look like this?

[Jimmy Stang]

Was it/is it alive still? I don't mind spiders on my porch light feasting on moths, but exotic ones in my grapes would be unsettling, even if harmless.

How did it taste, gritty like dirt, or sweet?

[Northendzone]

Don't know...

I think I'll let it accompany my morning constitutional to the nearest treatment plant...

Terminal cancer?

It has been over 1 minute since Nufy posted...I can only imagine that this is what has occurred over that time.

[dissentowner]

It is a species of jumping spider.
