Cool, I did not know such spider exist good to knowIt may be a three spotted spitting spider. A very dangerous spider capable of spitting a permanently blinding venom up to 2 feet. They are incredibly accurate and usually aim for the eyes. It got its name from the fact that it can spit venom, obviously, but also from the three tiny red spots arranged in a triangle pattern on the ventral surface of its abdomen. They are virtually indistinguishable from its totally harmless (unable to spit) cousin the 2 spotted spider which has only two spots on the abdomen and they are blue. The only way to tell for sure which one you have is to turn it over on its back and check for the spots. Be careful though, the three spotted spitting spider only spits its venom if it is turned over on its back.
