Comments & ID Thoughts

This spider looks similar to the one I photograph a few weeks back. I took the photo at night so it’s a little blown out by the flash but it has a shiny black body with reddish legs. The abdomen is small so my guess is a male with a beige pattern on it. The size of the spider with leg span was about the size of a 2 Euro coin. I’m really not sure of the species. Definitely not something I commonly see except for the on I photographed recently. My guess is False Widow, would like confirmation. I’m a bit of an arachnophobe so makes me a bit uneasy.
