House Spiders

Anyone keep those common spiders you find in your house. They are brownish and very much resemble a black widow to the untrained eye.

I found a Steatoda (if thats what your talking about) in my kitchen last week here in MI. Its only about 1mm in size right now. So I put it in a deli container. Seems to be doing good so far, eating pin head crickets. I will post some pics when I take some.

Been feeding them pinhead crickets and fruit flies. One has laid an egg sac.
