Answer #2

its one of many poisoness spiders could be black widow, if it was bigger might be brown widow just call the hospital fast !!!

Answer #3

Spider coloration varies quite a bit. There is a brown widow but it does not have the hourglass shape. There is quite a lot of patterns in many species but I have never heard of another besides the black widow that has an hourglass shape. It is not always an hourglass but it is aways red on a black body. There are many families of spiders that are brown and have the large belly shape like that of the black widow. Here is are sites with many pictures to compare.
