I found it in my toilet’s tank, which is in my wall. As soon as i get to see it again i will take a better pic with a better camera
Could it be a False Widow?
Yes. Thank you for clarifying that it is dark brown. It doesn’t have any of the black or brown widows’ markings visible, so it is probably a false widow. Possibly Parasteatoda or Steatoda. They are all in the same family, Theridiidae. The venom potency of each to other kinds of animals varies. Black widows are the most potent to us, but false widows and brown widows can kill black widows.
Oh thanks you for confirmation!, there are some cockroaches and little flyes flying in the bathroom, does it feed of those? Sorry for my bad english.
PD:I will be posting another spider i found(old pic) which i would like to get identified!
Hi, yes they eat flies and cockroaches 🙂 You are welcome to post more spider photos. Your English is not a problem. It is better than my Spanish.
