ID request

[Lambda Tau]

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me identify this spider. It is about 1/8" or 3mm in body length.

 

[Albireo Wulfbooper]

Looks like a Steatoda of some sort, not sure which species. Harmless.

Don't steatoda bites cause mild stomach cramps and occasional vomiting or have I been misinformed

Typically it's similar to a bee sting, if envenomation even occurs (which isn't a given). Very rarely they can cause more serious symptoms (presumably because of hypersensitivity of some humans), but I've not heard of vomiting and stomach cramps.

Does it hold true for our grossa and borealis up here?

I've never heard of any significant symptoms at all from grossa or borealis, tbh. Only nobilis, and those exceedingly rare.
