Is this a false widow? (Warning: spider inside)

Just that really! Is this a false widow or not?

Need a closer up pic of the markings on its back.

Not sure if this is any better! Screenshots off a video I took 😂

I came across one like this the other day so am very keen to know the answer too! Well done on getting the pic.

Could be. We get round our way. Body shape looks right and it looks sort of 'shiny' our ones tend to have some white-ish markings on the body as well. Horrible things, really creep me out

Looks like one yes. They are the only ones that i evict if they are in the house but if you leave well alone will be no bother.

I evicted one just like that this morning.

It was a hideous thing. It was the fat body and short legs that really grossed me out!

What colour was it, it's hard to see in the colour in the photo, and are you in the UK?

This just made me pick my bare feet up off the floor. Fuck that.

No, that doesn't look anything like one.

FBW have a reddish tinge to their legs and a distinctive marking on their butt.

We have them every year. Very timid spiders.

if it is, it doesnt look very healthy as theyre usually a bit more reddish than that.
Dont worry about it. They arent aggressive and dont deserve their bad rep

Thank you everyone! I've evicted him just in case but he was definitely more black than red and his bulgey bum bit was much bigger than in andoutcometheboobs pic.
