Comments & ID Thoughts
Found in garage, western suburbs of Adelaide. Hoping it's some type of false widow.
Found when garage roller door was opened so might have been in a Web and disturbed, but can't confirm.

Hi, yes this is a False Widow in family Theridiidae. It is in genus Steatoda. Either Steatoda grossa or S. triangulosa. They make true cobwebs that are clumpy, dusty, stringy, and random looking. It isn’t dangerous.
