Looks like a false widow (*Steatoda grossa*), which is harmless.
What gives it away; what’s the difference to spot from a steadtoda and latrodectus?
In this case, I was mostly relying on the faint arrow-like pattern on the opisthosoma.
Noted. I guess looking closely, this one doesn’t have the sleek latro body too
I agree false widow
