Can a photo confirm whether a spider is dangerous?

A photo can suggest likely species, but it cannot guarantee safety. Avoid handling unknown spiders and consult a local expert when risk matters.

Why does the result show alternatives?

Many spiders share similar shapes and markings. Alternatives make uncertainty visible and help you compare the most useful features.

Should I include the web?

Yes, when safe. Web shape and placement can be valuable clues alongside the spider’s body and location.
