hi, I'm a new bold jumping spider mom. I've had a female bold jumper for a few months. I think she's in pre-molt as she hasn't eaten regularly in a while. She finally ate a small cricket the other day and she began to make her molt hammock. But, this morning I saw this large yellow spot in her hammock. To be fair, I didn't watch her first molt with us as she was put away to make sure she was kept in a safe, quiet spot. However, this time, I let her stay at my desk. After she what appears to be "puke", her stomach appears much..much..smaller than before. Now I'm concerned. Can someone with more experience please let me know what's happening with Sally? Thanks!

Looks like an egg sack that hasn't been properly wrapped up.

Yep, thats gonna be eggs. Females lay them infertile sometimes. Mine laid a yellow clutch that looked exactly like that.
