My housemate happened to look in on my spider yesterday, and we got quite a surprise.
Genus is Steatoda, not sure of the species, but it looks like either a male S.grossa or S.capensis, captured in england, small, reddish-brown in color, wasp-like yellow markings accross the abdomen.
Can't get a pic atm, due to whats going on, but bugger me sideways if 'he' hasn't gone and laid an eggsack, 'he' looked pretty plump, and now much smaller.
Question is, are there any Steatoda species in which the female resembles a male S.grossa/S.capensis, in terms of the V-shaped hymenopteran-esque markings?
