A latrodectus spp female (Black widow), and she’s highly venomous!
أرملة سوداء سامة, لكن مفيدة للبيئة.

Don’t panic, you are bigger than she is 🙂 Try flipping her over with a stick to get a photo of her underside for us.

When the legs are as robust as this it’s a safe bet it’s Latrodectus, no need for flipping.
