My true spider

[Stefan-V]

This little spider thought it could mooch of my crickets, but now he has a safe life from my mom in this vial.
I would like to know what it is and to know how big they get. sorry, the pics are still kinda blurry, it was moving all the time.:)
The last pic is of it making a a parchute like thing so it could fall of the paper(I think).

Hi, It's certainly a species from te family Theridiidae and i think an adult female. Perhaps a Steatoda sp. ?

Haha...reminds me of the time I found an enormous female black widow in a box of crickets.
I set her up in a container, and she soon laid an eggsack, and then while I was at school my mom killed them...:wall:

Thanks,
Andrew

So it is from the same family as the Black widow? Does it mean that it's venomous aswell? Because I have let it walk on my hand and stuff....:rolleyes:

They're not aggressive at all, but I wouldn't do that anymore if I were you though... it's a female and she can certainly pierce your skin and conflict a lot of pain. How bad it is depends on the species of course but still...

Thanks, man! I'll definately be a little more careful and responsible. Glad nothing happend.:clap:
I have got stung by a scorpion a long time ago (still hurts thinking about it). I definately don't want to get bitten by something in the family of black widow.:shame:
