Steatoda sp.
Shiny black-brown spider without bright colored marking but otherwise looking and acting very much like a black widow.
In the house in a dark corner behind books.
Black widows do not live in this area; this species seems to occupy that niche. This one had been preying on a flight of termites (good work!)
