Pretty sure I'd rather get stabbed and mugged on the subway rather than see that spider in my house. Originally Posted by Redlokyldoreifanggore

I fairly certain that is not a false widow. It looks a lot more like a Triangulate cobweb spider (or Steatoda Triangulosa if you prefer). It matches the natural range which includes most of the USA.
Here is a video of one feeding. Go to the 1:45 mark for a very clear top view image.
Here are the image search results from Google for the same spider:

I would have captured it and studied it, not freaked out. That might just be the weird curious side of me, though. Originally Posted by Blueobelisk

It's pretty cute, just pick it up with something and leave her outside.

The funny thing about doing that, if you for some reason leave the spider in the glass for some time it will completely fill it with web Originally Posted by Kurioxan

Throw up for that? geez talk about overreacting
Just grab it with a glass/paper underneath and release out of the window.

I just find it so hilarious, and I thought Denmark was the one that was not supposed to have dangerous wildlife... Originally Posted by RICH8472
