This one was hard to take a photo of, so I'm not expecting an exact ID. I'm in Midwest Ohio, and found this in my house. She's alive and doing fine, just taking a drink here.

The thing that made me curious is that she has pits on her abdomen. Searching that didn't help me at all though. The only other spider that I know of that has pits in its abdomen are black widows. But she has no hour glass marking. I'm pretty confident she's harmless but I'm just wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction?

I meant to add that she's dark brown, not black. pretty small. She's drinking out of a normal pepsi bottle, single serve kind of deal, not a two liter.
