Comments & ID Thoughts

Killed as I was mopping my dining room. Closest thing I’ve found on google is a Redback spider, but read those are only in Austrailia, eastern countries, etc. Tell me it’s not a black widow.

Hi, no,this is not one of the widows. One of the rather harmless ground sac spiders,Corinnidae family, Castianeira crocata species:
