Baby Spider - Steatoda grossa

Baby Spider - Steatoda grossa
Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington, USA
November 26, 2007
Size: almost 2 mm
Pretty sure this is something in the Steatoda genus. I just saw the mother for the first time in my bathroom. It's very sneaky, hides under the cabinet, and I haven't been able to coax it back out.

Yes
Probably grossa.
Maybe you could get a glimpse of the female during the night. Just leave the lights off and try using a flashlight.
