Any ideas? I checked the 39 species of NJ and the closest match is male black widow. Looking for a second opinion before I kill it with fire.

Lmao!

burn it!! Ask questions later 

Yup.  Black widow.  

Once you see one, you know there's like 1000 eggs around. Fire the house.

I had a spider problem once. I sprayed so much poison in my yard an elephant would die if it walked on my grass. Problem solved.

spiders eat the annoying stuff.......thus i tend to not kill em

I tend to let them live as well. Kill the black widow though.

It was in my office. Unfortunately it got away. I should probably warn 1st shift.

I have them aat the shed this year one female got away have yet to find it, the other female i got she ran right at me when i went to pick up a concrete block just happened to catch her movement and pulled away. she attacked the broom stick when i put it in the block to get her out instantly kind of cool to watch..I was surprised how aggressive she was..

Not a Black Widow.

I didn't think so either. I'm no bug expert, but that spider doesn't look even close to the 20+ photos I looked at on the Internet. Doesn't look like a brown recluse either.

Not a black widow. That is the elusive Hiney Spider.

ANYONE remember 8 legged freaks? was a friggin hilarious movie

I don't know what it is but it's not a black widow.  We have lots of black widows here.

Phew! Thank you. I never did find it. 

Indeed it looks like a male BW to me.

False or actual? If I remember correctly the male isn't dangerous, but I would think where there is a male there is a female... until she eats him.

I believe that to be correct. But out of the 50 or 60 black widows I have found, I only ever found 1 male!
