Steatoda grossa
A juvenile S. grossa doing her best jellyfish impression.
The amount of grown in one molt is incredible!
How the heck did she even fit the new exoskeleton in the old one?
This blows my mind on a regular basis. Sometimes I swear they must literally grow as they squeeze out of the old exoskeleton... It's truly mind-boggling.

And man, that jellyfish is giving my tree squid a run for her money with the aquatic impersonations!
