Found hiding with egg sac behind a painting, was very protective of the sac. I'm guessing female Parasteatoda tepiradariorum/common house spider.

Had a typo, meant to write tepidariorum.
Hey spidey18. Legs look too sturdy for parasteatoda. Abdomen marking doesn’t look to fit, and female p.tepidariorum has ringed or striped legs.
Can you remember its body size roughly?
Around the size of a pea, maybe a tiny bit larger.
