Steatoda triangulosa
(Triangulate Cobweb Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

some species of orb weaver?
abdomen is the size of a large pea
ferocious behavior (she?) has taken out half a dozen hobo spiders in the last month plus insects
web is complicated and was "classically" oval shaped. (damaged when closet door was opened)
