Common house spider - Parasteatoda tepidariorum -

Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
November 28, 2007
Size: 6mm (1/4")

This is a Common House Spider - Achaearanea tepidariorum....male. Please excuse me for posting yet another Common House Spider but I finally got a shot of one that wasn't in the typical House Spider male duck-and-cover posture.
