Hi, she’s Steatoda noblis, a species that originated in Europe. She’s in the same family as the Widow spiders, Theridiidae, but she’s dangerous to insects and other spiders, not mammals. She’s quite gravid, spiders technically don’t get pregnant. I won’t make you read my Spider Sex Education explanation unless you’re THAT curious about spiders. She should be ready to make egg sacs soon. She’s one of the species commonly called False Widows. I quite like them.
