That is a black widow or brown widow… I can’t see the color exactly from the picture but from the back I am almost positive Google them and you will see

Well that’s terrifying! Lol I haven’t seen it since I posted the photo.. I did a lot of googling and thought it looked kind of similar to a Hobo spider? But I was not sure.. hopefully it just doesn’t come back! Thank you for your comment!
