Here is a link to a Steatoda grossa picture that looks very close to your spider. http://www.entomology.ucr.edu/ebeling/ebel9-1.html http://www.entomology.ucr.edu/ebeling/figures/fig212.jpg Here is another Australian species from the Theridiidae, which was called a Steatoda, but has been changed recently to an Achaearanea species. This one was found in our garden the same day that Fay found the Red-back Spider. |
