Black spider with little white dots - Lepthyphantes
San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, USA
April 18, 2015
Size: maybe 1/8"-1/4" body?
Found in my kids' bedroom crawling on the floor. I thought at first it might have been an immature male false widow but I couldn't find any pictures of that dot pattern in my reference material.

Not Steatoda
This is something in the sheetweb spiders. Maybe one of the Lepthyphantes
