I wonder if that spider occurs here in Wisconsin(??). It sure would be interesting to try to establish captive colonies of native spiders.Well that species I showed you the females and males seem to stay close. The female usually has a larger web with a male in a smaller web just a few inches away. So they might be possible to breed in captivity. If any enclosure was nice enough to promote captive breeding it would be yours.

I did a quick search and apparently the most recent FS thread here on arachnoboards for the H. boiei is from two years ago...
