Hello,
This is my first post and I am hoping someone can help me with a mystery. Last week we caught 2 spiders in a tupperware, one small garden spider and the other is a beast of a jumper. Several days after catching them, we noticed something odd. The garden spider was eaten by the jumper, who I have subsequently named T.Z. (Twilight Zone) due to the impossibility of what we found in there with them. A third spider had somehow appeared inside the tupperware, and it was nearly as big as TZ but looked like it had been eaten/dismembered! I read about spiders molting but have never seen it. Is that what happened? Also, today we caught another giant jumper (in the glass jar) whom I've named Beastly and I don't know if these two are male or female. Can anyone help me ID gender and solve the mystery of the duplicating spider? TZ is in the turquoise lidded container and Beastly is in the glass jar.
