Ok, I catch site of this little guy running arcoss the sunroom floor one night. Wife flips, thinking its one of my widows making an escape. :wicked: So I contain it and calm the wife. Throw in a cricket after letting him calm down. Wack as soon as the cricket the bottom. Next day same thing. After the 3rd cricket he's content. Keep him a few weeks trying to figure out what it is. On my was over to take another look there is another one on the side of his/hers cup. And they are trying or communicating. Gather the first is the female the second one is courting her. So I put them together. Stey sniff each other and spin a web. See pix below:
