This looks like a western black widow. Although the northern widow can have similar markings.

Thanks.
I’m familiar with the black widows which are solid black, except for the red hour glass.
So I was surprised as I tried to move this spider out of the kayak to the woods, and she rolled on her back and showed me the red hour glass on her belly.
(I send “belly picture” too – same spider)
I’ve never seen one like that before.
