That is iPhone pictures at 4 in the morning for ya, the phone camera would lose focus when i would zoom in, plus it was so small I could barely make out an abdomen. I have another picture that might look a little better.

That looks like it may have been a false widow (family Theridiidae, genus Steatoda). They are not aggressive or dangerous, but some people have reported mild widow-like symptoms from their bite.

If the auto-focus is having trouble seeing a small object, sometimes it helps to put a larger object at the same distance. Once you get it to focus on the large object, the small object should be in focus.

would agree with that it does look like a steatoda nobilis with the little whit mark
