    So my apartment is a haven for spiders, doesn't bother me much. But the oh freaks out, as she is convinced they are false widows...I have a video clip of one a caught earlier, is it a false widow?

    I'm still looking at it. It has the body shape of a FW, but I can't see markings.

    Can you see anything like these close up? Won't be the exact same, just a marking of some sort.

    Looks right for one but hard to be sure; all I can see is a silhouette. THEY ARE HARMLESS. We have them all over our house.
