I've been doing some reading and apparently Phiddipus genus, audax in particular is known to invade other spider webs and eat the other spider and/or take its prey. When I found my juvie female, I was sitting down inside one of those wooden playforts, im sure most of you know what I mean. This one is infested with various kinds of spiders and carpenter bees, its a bug paradise. She was right above my head, in the vicinity of two different other spider webs. I think she may have been in that area preying on other spiders because she was very fat.

Sorry for rambling lol just curious if anyone has experienced Phiddipus killing other spiders before.
