Moved
Moved from Spiders. Is this spider still alive? I don't suppose you can take one shot like this


If you are willing maybe you can get it ID'd by a local expert? It looks like you might have A. fulva, A. pulcher, A. medialis, S. washona & S. variata in your state.

I may have been a little early on the move to Asagena. Steatoda variata also has one variation with this pattern and S. washona is described as easily confused with A. medialis.

Is this another
Asagena?

Oh yes sorry
Asagena is possible that's why I'd like the full dorsal shot.

Images added
I added a few additional shots highlighting the pattern on the abdomen. Thanks for the ID help.

Steatoda species
A female. Do you have a better shot of the entire pattern on the abdomen (dorsal side)?
