I think so. It does look like Steatoda grossa. Was this spider with the other one you posted?
Yes they were in the same tarp stored in my shed. There were also multiple giant house spiders with them as well. The other picture looks like a hobo spider. His coloring was not like the two giant house spiders I also saw. But I’m guessing. The giant house spiders crawled away this little guy would just sit there as if he wasn’t scared. That kinda puts the fear in me. I’ll admit, I’m a little arachnophobic. I do know the giant house spiders are the good guys and I was told they actually eat the bad guys….
