I’m thinking it’s a cellar spider. It’s on the roof of my garage in Houston Texas. There are also possible Steatoda species of spider in nearby webs in the same place in the garage ceiling corner.

Help identify this spider
Yes, a cellar spider. Most common house spider globaly. If that Steatoda wanders into the cellar spiders web, it will become dinner. And vica versa.
The abdomen is a weird shape, I remember that one American species has a trapezoidal abdomen, I’ll look it up. I’ve never caught my cobweb spiders and cellar spiders eating each other, I think they do it when I’m not looking, I did catch one of my Cellar Spiders preying on a Black Lace Weaver. That’s impressive due to the size difference.
Maybe a deformity, I question this is Phalangeoides species.

ylong legs
