Seek says it's a brown widow spider. From WebMD:
Brown widow spiders are venomous, but they're considered much less dangerous than the black widow. Although brown widow venom is just as toxic, the brown widow spider injects a much smaller amount of it. Also, only the adult female brown widow spiders bite. Immature and male brown widow spiders don't bite at all.
hm never heard of Seek. this iNaturalist thing?
yeah looks a lot like a brown widow. thanks!
Yeah, I mainly use it when my son and I are hiking and he asks 'The hell is this weird thing?', I remind him I'm no botanist and pull up seek. It's a pretty cool app. Just looked, surprised the reviews are 3.3, never had any problems with it.
Nice I’ll check it out. Thanks!
