No clue. But I got bit by something the other night and had to go to the doctor's because my arm got infected.

Hi, this looks like Steatoda nobilis, a Noble Cobweaver. They aren’t aggressive, but may bite in self-defense if they get trapped against skin in some way. They aren’t one of the few spider species in U.S. that has medically significant venom. A puncture wound results from spider and insect bites and that can introduce infectious bacteria into the body. An allergic reaction is rare, but possible, like with insect bites.
Got it. Appreciate the help!
