Steatoda
(False Widows)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Looks in terms of body shape like a black widow but lacks the distinct red hour glass as far as i can see but does have a red area where the legs join to and appears red on the butt but i haven't been able to see from any other view. Found next to door entrance inside garage. Web felt sticky/very strong. My friend thought it might be a false widow but I'm worried about that red patch as i haven't seen a false widow picture that has a red spot. Thanks in advance.
