It's a bottom up view, you can tell by the way the legs look, next to the spider’s sternum.

I'm no expert but it looks like a brown widow.
My first thought it might be a violin spider, but that looks more like the standard “widow” marking.

That marking (in my mind) would be an indication that it's probably venomous. If I were you, I'd capture it and put it outside.

COOL picture of it BTW!

After looking around on the web and discussing it with my lady, I found positive proof that it's a Brown Widow.

Kill it! lol

I wonder if this is the same kind of spider as yours? I found it in my garage the other night, caught it in a little bucket and the poorthing curled himself into a little spider ball thinking I was gonna kill him.

But I didn't have the heart to do that, so I stuck it in my neighbors geranium pot. :nod

I wonder what goes through a spiders brain (if anything) when they find themselves in the clutches of danger and then all of a sudden find themselves amongst a colorful petaly paradise?

...and then all of a sudden find themselves amongst a colorful petaly paradise?

...full of fat, juicy flies with no wings, and no humans with deadly newspapers.

I'm thinking it justifies all their spider theology...
