Comments & ID Thoughts

Fairly small. Maybe quarter sized. I thought maybe a brown recluse but the yellow or white diamond thing threw me off.

Definitely not a recluse. I think it’s a male cobweb spider, family Theridiidae… not sure of the genus as the marking is a little unusual, but male Steatoda species look very similar.

Thinking a male Asagena medialis. (similar genus to Steatoda)
