Answer 3

The only shiny fully black spider with a round abdomen that I have seen in that area is the juvenile black widow. Their hourglass can be difficult to see when they are small but they quickly grow quite large and their red hourglass making is very pronounced on the underside of their abdomen. Always err on the side of caution with venomous spiders.
