Comments & ID Thoughts
Found in the toilet where there is lots of mosquitos. I think its a redback spider but might be Latrodectus too.

Hi. not latrodectus, I believe this is Steatoda paykulliana, one of the false widows,sometimes with red patterns resembling redback. Compare here:

They are not dangerous but hear their bite can sometimes pack a good punch.
They have been known to kill small life much larger than themselves.
I have seen our false widows kill the small house geckos.
Hope this helps.
