Steatoda grossa
(False Black Widow)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Underneath the bottom cushion of an outdoor patio chair, the day after it rained. I lifted up the bottom cushion to shake it out and the spider fell off it. I believe it was a baby since it was pretty tiny.
I live on a golf course with lots of shrubbery.
