I can't help identify it, but I can suggest that, no matter what it is, someone will assert that it's a false widow. That seems to be the way of things in this forum!

In Oz, got bitten/stung by something while sitting in the garden - thought it was an ant. Turned to see a small black spider it was quite aggressive. I found nests with hundreds of tiny ones hanging out in the nest/webs. Then I spotted 3 huge feckers the size of my palm

The bite only hurt for a minute then was fine, I`ve been spraying the garden with spider killer since and a few minutes after you spray...........then they come out because they have been disturbed and only then do you realise just how many of them there are.......

:O

Called the Mouse Spider because of its colouring. Scotophaeus blackwalli. Known to give a nip.
