Red-legged Purseweb Spider (Sphodros rufipes)Observer

This beautiful spider surprised me. He was right outside the front door on the stoop and then scurried up the cedar siding when I came out. I read that is it unusual for these females to ever leave the web, males only leave to find a mate. These spiders are typically more southern, but have been spotted as far north as Indiana.

It was gliding out of the garden along the edge of the drive. I scared it and it coiled, and made a fake strike. I came back to take a pic and it had moved out of the drive to the walkway.
