I found this little gem under a wooden wheelchair ramp when I was cleaning. Reminded me of a black widow, but not black and without the red hourglass.

I live in Portland, Oregon, and this picture was taken in early July. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks
Brian

This spider is in the same family (Theridiidae) as the widow spiders; it is in the genus Steatoda, probably Steatoda triangulosa - see http://tinyurl.com/5234u8
They are harmless to humans.
