black spider w/ orange legs - Trachelas
Springfield, Virginia, USA
October 9, 2004
I found this spider in the corner of my bathroom, and I photographed it after taking it outside. When first approached, it displayed the classic defensive posture of raising it's front legs up, but I think it quickly got used to me. Any help identifying is appreciated.
