L hesperus
Didn't realize how big the roach was compared to the spider, but she sucked it dry the next day.

I actually believe that is a L geometricus not a hesperus

Yeah, she recently made a spiky eggsac, so I guess I got her ID wrong

Just phone pics sadly but chuffed she stopped out long enough for me to get some.

Macrothele gigas with a morioworm.

How old is your girl. I got a macrothele last year. She was about a half inch. She’s about an inch now is she full grown. Kinda confused on there max size

Looking out a window yesterday there was a jumping spider on the wall below me. It had to be a jumper by the way it moved but appeared to have some massive deformity. I only had a sideways view, not from above. Staring at it as it moved about it finally turned and was coming straight up the wall towards me.
It had some kind of winged insect clamped in it's chelicerae, perfectly centered and symmetrical, the bug's wings sticking straight outwards and slightly upwards giving it a gigantic handlebar mustache several times wider than it's body.
Oh to be a hot shot photographer with a good macro camera right then. A little photoshop work giving it a cowboy hat........ "What you all lookin at, pardner?"
