Both the same species (if I’m not badly mistaken). Both indoors within a foot of one another.

    They’re Steatoda nobilis, Noble False Widows. Characteristic pattern is a bit hard to notice on the first one unless you look closely, but it’s clear as day on the second spider.

      No, and they’re definitely not ticks. You’re mistaking a (probably gravid) female spider for an engorged tick.
