Hello,
I found this round silver fella in my balcony - it has 1/4 inch body and it's eating a huge bug in the photo. Could you please identify it, is it venomous?

Looks like a brown widow - see https://www.flickr.com/photos/48991563@N06/5000329009 but knowing your general geographic location would be helpful. These spiders are venomous, but usually are not considered nearly as dangerous as black widow spiders.

In that case, Latrodectus pallidus would be a possibility - https://www.flickr.com/photos/48573660@N04/6259795229
