A couple days ago, I took one of the cobweb spiders out of my backyard shed to practice ID with. I wasn't sure if I was going to set up a cage for it and keep it as a pet or release it. I am also still not sure what genus it belongs too, but leaning toward Parasteatoda, but the coloring is off. Any insight as the genus would be appreciated.
Here are some pictures;
Then.. today I came home and found this!
Since I don't want to have to take care of the, from what I have heard, upwards of 10,000 spiderlings, I am going to put the jar she is in back in the shed with the lid off.
Question: I am thinking about giving her a pinhead first. Would she eat it or would that just stress her out?
