Steatoda triangulosa

Cobweb Weaver,
Steatoda triangulosa

a common, but very beautiful species...
snagged one last night from my storage shed as I was finishing up my packing for my move... it was slinging webs within the hour in its new container

she really is a beaut... she's darker than the pic above and i must say i'm now 100% on the ID, but i've gotta be close...
was thinking of letting her back loose on society... i'll have to get a good photoshoot before i do so...

nice
i've always liked the idea of the steatoda false widows... and might have even caught some before... but i lacked the confidence in my abilities (and an eggsac) to tell for certain that it wasn't a real widow
oh, steatoda grossa = spiderman movie spider that bites PP
but they painted it those crazy blue and red colors (heh, look the french guyana Sparassidae ... maybe not so crazy colors after all)
