Hi /an/ons. I found this little bugger on my patio floor. Anyone recognize it's species?

Here's another pic
Pic of the underside and a location or it's a Brown Recluse...

I don't have underside. I'm in argentina, in a coastal city
>>2207902
Yup. Brown Recluse.

Flick it over and get a pic of the underside.
Size and colour suggests a Widow spider (Latrodectus sp.)
The two dimples though look more like a False Widow, Steatoda bipunctata.
Species in both genera are pretty variable (and often misidentified in pics).
Treat it carefully as if it's L. mactans, its bite will be nasty.

Steatoda grossa female

looks like a female false widow (steatoda sp.), could be a real widow (latrodectus sp.) without markings. Either one can give an unpleasant bite, so dont molest it.

Yeh, that's a better suggestion than bipunctata.

Yes, it was one of these! Thanks a lot. I read about the bite, not exactly lethal but annoying
