Hi, this is an American house spider, Parasteatoda tepidariorum.
Yup, it totally is, thanks! We named her Georgia. I thought she might have been a Steatoda but I’m only familiar with the Triangulosa and knew that was wrong. We had a massive, picturesque black widow when we moved in so I was just making sure she’s not any type of Latrodectus I didn’t know about. We’ll leave her alone cause she’s been cleaning up the garage left and right!
