This is a false black widow spider. I spent a good while trying to flip flop the poor thing around to see it's belly and I finally did to make sure. Yes, I am brazen with spiders, lol. I have several more photos.

Hi, yes playing with the spider until you find out if it has a black widow marking is one sure way to find out. Yes, Steatoda grossa. BTW false widows have aren’t as potent as black widows, but word is the bites still aren’t fun.
