    As I was checking out some of my plants today, I felt a little bite between my toes, looked down and there was a tiny white spider between my toes! There's no mark there, but there was a tiny black 'stinger' or something there... any ideas on what type of spider this is?

    Im not positive but My husband works for a HVAC company and has a spider chart at his work,but it kind of looks like the Hobo spider check it out I know their white or almost see through, if the bite gets red and travels call your doctor, like I say though I think it might be I'll check it out though.

    It's an almost clear/white spider with little spots on its back, I just took some more pics of it. They worked out a little better. The one photo is black, it shows the spots on its back a bit better. Some reason my camera doesn't pick up the spots with a regular shot.

    Eew! I just looked up the Hobo spider, it looks vicious! Definitely not what this one is. My toe seems fine, no redness or swelling, so I'm not too worried, just interested now in what type of spider this is.

    it's not a hobo . i just look it up and they are brown, sorry about that. I'm not to sure I had one just like that on my door and thats what my husband thought. I looked on a couple different sites and turned up nothing but its not on the spider chart. so thats good

    You could use bugguide.net and browse through the section on spiders

    Hobo spider has a different body type, species shown is common here and not one of the few dangerous ones in this area. (This I know, what it's called I don't know).
