Could only get the underside of the spider. Curious as to the type of spider as it has a hourglass-ish marking on its underside.

Hi, this looks like a False Widow, Steatoda borealis. 🙂
Thanks so much for the help, ItsyBitsy! Are they venomous??!! Thanks again!
Like most spiders they have venom but are unlikely to bite except in self defense, and are not considered to be of medical significance to people.
