ID request for spider found in evening in window sill in San Diego, CA
San Diego, San Diego County, California, USA
April 20, 2017
Size: about 1"
I am failing to get a better picture of her because she's skiddish and keeps hiding inside the vertical hole (maybe a clue to species) on the edge of my old window that you can see on the left side of the pic. She rests upside down so I can't get a pic of her back either I keep checking on her to try to get a better pic and have no intention on moving her because she's useful to me (eats the flying bugs in my house), unless you guys inform me that she's venomous (wouldn't be able to convince the hubby to keep her around if that were the case).

Moved from Spiders.

Unfortunately, angles such as these are often unidentifiable. Perhaps one of the Steatoda?
