Comments & ID Thoughts

We are wondering if this is a black widow. No red markings but same shape. Has brown and black striped legs. I’m underside is light brown with a black “x” type shape. Found two of these under our deck so far and are thinking there is more. Much appreciate the identification!

I think this is a false black widow, Steatoda grossa. They are the same shape and size as black widows but are purple-brown instead of black.
