Hi, and welcome to the site. Your little friend is a female crevice weaver, Filistatidae family, Kukulcania genus. Two possible species are southern house spider, K. Hibernalis and Arizona black hole spider K. arizonica. Regarded as totally harmless, a truly fascinating spider, one of my extensive studies.

A third species K. utahana shown for you range I have professional question about,but possible.

A hunch,but the fovea on the carapace looks K. arizonica.

Thank you so much. I’ve lived here quite a while and she was here when I came. It’s my understanding that some spiders live a very long time

I have one of these living in my Rio Rancho Art studio. I have a photo, but I don’t know how to attach it. It looks like a mouse spider to me. What do you think it is?mine is in a kind of funnel web and most likely female. She’s nocturnal.
