wow very nice!!how long did the whole process take?pics look amazing man.great sequence of shots here

I found her after she was finishing up the mat and was getting ready to lay the eggs. From that point on, it took about one hour. Here's another shot I did not include because of the poor quality. This is prior to the eggs showing up. Looks like she drops a blob of clear fluid prior and then lays the eggs into that. Is this standard spider procedure when laying eggs or am I seeing things?

I was popping in and out of the bug room while exercising and wish now I had stayed to try and get a bunch of shots during the actual laying of eggs. That part goes pretty quick.

im guessing thats the sperm stored inside of her she uses to fertilize the eggs?i couldnt say for sure but someone should be able to answer that heh
