I too am confused, the back or belly, which is it.
Different species of black widow
by: anonymous

I live in NC and grew up in the eastern part of the state where black widows are very common. These black widows never had red on the back.
I now live in the western part of the state where I see black widows with red spots down the back. Our local nature center told me there are two varieties known as the western and eastern varieties. The line of red spots disappear as the spider matures.
Black Widow

Last week I picked up my rack and a large shiny black spider with red on it's back was on it with an egg sack. I immediately killed it and squshed the sack on the ground. Are widow now having red spots on their back as well as on their underbelly or is it another kind of spider.

I thought black widows only had the hour glass on the underside.
