False widow
Hi Buddy,
I'm not sure about the species, but this looks like a False Black Widow. There's no need to panic. They are quite shy. And their bites are not all that bad. This is a female, by the way.

Have a great day,

 
Thanks for your help. Removi
Thanks for your help. Removing an old deck in the yard and there were some of these and a couple of much bigger ones with large abdomens that I just did a google search with your ID help and it's showing both as females. What'sup with that being so different? Still waiting for an ID on the picture I provided here for the other one though so maybe it's not that. Thank you for your ID :)
