Scully's Catch of The Day!

This spider was totally cool and climbed right onto my hand... Forgive my photo skills, but I hope they're sufficient enough for an ID...

Who's scared of who?

Really bad pic, but "he's" in a cool pose...

Assuming it was found in Wisconsin, I'm going to hazard a guess of Frontinella communis. The colors and the pattern of the species can display variability from locale to locale and individual to individual and a lot of the google image search results for the species are darker than yours... but there aren't too many spiders in your state and there were only a couple contenders with similar appearances. I am leaning towards the bowl and doily spider mostly because of the proportions.

The next closest possibility based on a visual I.D. is Parasteatoda tepidariorum but the relative size of the abdomen to the cephalothorax seems a bit off and the thickness and joint positions of the legs also seem to be slightly different.

Yep, it briefly warmed up here [Wi] and all sorts of creatures are coming out... I was hoping you would reply so I tried to get all of the spider's bits and pieces in the pics... Thanks for the great reply!
