    "angeline" has it, most likely a Bold jumper (a jumping spider). I have some pictures on my web page here:

    I have also found a furry black spider with a heart shape and green fangs. Does anyone have a name?

    Sounds scary but not serious. The scary black spider is the Black Widow, which is mostly a southeastern pest. It has red markings and obnoxious venom. This one doesn't sound like a black widow. So that makes it one of the other spiders that is scary looking as can be, but relatively harmless (I am assuming you're a U.S. resident - there are other nasty spiders in other countries beside widow and recluse, which are our problem).

    Remember - a squished spider is still scary and icky. But if cleaned up properly is no longer a problem.
