I believe this to be a juvenile Hacklemesh Weaver (Amaurobiidae sp.). I’ve kept slings of A. ferox and they look almost identical to this spider. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good pictures to compare but these pictures are what she will grow up to look like if I am in fact right about her identity. https://bugguide.net/node/view/760606
Did you see the other image I posted of the back of it also? It’s rather pink since my grow light was on. When I used my flash, it disappeared back under the cactus so I couldn’t get a better picture. It’s SO tiny but it grabbed a roach one night and dragged it under the cactus.
