Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 You have a Triangulate Cobweb Weaver (Steatoda triangulosa). They are in the same family (Theridiidae/Cobweb Spiders) as Widows (Latrodectus) but in a different genus (Steatoda). Your spider is not considered to be of medical concern.
Note to admin.: still need a page for Steatoda triangulosa.
A Steatoda,Cobweb spider. Same family of the Black widow. They are not a medically significant spider.
