Fun pair of spiders from work

[pouchedrat]

While at work (in a bakery) I was washing down a table, when a spider was crawling as fast as he could out from underneath, so I caught him. A few minutes later, a female came down from the ceiling and landed on the brim of my hat, dangling mere inches from my face! It freaked me out enough to let out a rather embarassing, girly scream.

Anyway, I have no idea what species they are, but they've been living together in the same plastic cube for a week now with no incidents of cannibalization, but definitely with some mating going on.

Also, I purchased some bananas that same day, went home with them and had to do something really fast so I threw the entire bag into the fridge. I forgot the bananas were still in there until a couple hours later, when I took them out and noticed a small eggsack on it, that had hatched... I just slaughtered an entire generation of unknown spiderlings that came on the bananas, needless to say I feel really bad about it. It looked like some were freshly molted, but all were super tiny.

could possibly be a steatoda sp.

Looks like Steatoda to me, as well.

Don't get your hopes up yet. Some spiders do double clutch or have even more just from one mating. Black widows are known for doing that. My second jumper Bitsy has two egg sacs.... well one hatched so now she has eggs and lings. ^_^
