I found this spider in my shed between boxes and I am not sure if it is a black widow or not. I don't see any red on it; it is completely black with a big shiny round body. I think I see two very faint triangle spots at about mid back that look whitish gray in bright light. It looks like a western black widow when I compare it to pictures on the web, but with no red. I did see one picture on the web that shows a black widow with no red on it but I am not sure. I removed this spider from my shed, but I see a few babies that look the same (they were in the same web) and I am worried that I might have a problem. Please let me know what you think! Thank you, Anne.
