Definitely old age. They sadly don't live that long.@darkness975 thanks for your response. I have yet to have any of the sacs hatch. There are 3-4 in the container. Temps have still remained cool, so perhaps that is the reason.
I unfortunately lost one of the widows. Her abdomen shrunk and, even when provided food, she seemed to reject it. After a while, I found her dead. One of the other females is starting to exhibit the same behavior. I found both of them last summer/ early fall and they were fully grown, so perhaps passing from natural causes (old age). Not sure, but thought I would mention it and welcome your thoughts.
