Thank you very much “Bugman Dan”.
I thought the pattern resembled a “skull” and that is what made me photograph it.
PS. I know nothing about spiders and appreciate you getting in touch.
My very best wishes to you in the USA.

I photographed this spider in my wood shop in Ireland on 31st March 2026.
Steatoda nobilis, sometimes called skull spider for the pattern.
