I found this spider in my garage hiding under a piece of lumber. I live in central Wisconsin and have never seen this kind around before. Anyone have any insight into which species this is?

Thanks in advance!

It's Steatoda triangulosa - harmless to humans and a great pest controller....

Yes, Flapdoodle is right, this is a lovely female Steatoda triangulosa, a type of cobweb weaver.
Here is a link to some good info about this type of spider. http://lancaster.unl.edu/pest/resources/triangulatespider.shtml
