Steatoda picture thread

Tleilaxu · 11-04-2009, 09:51 PM

This is a thread dedicated to the black widow wannabes the spiders in the Steatoda genus, here are some pics of Steatoda I have had or currently had, you will notice they are on bugguide, but I can assure they are mine

My uniidentified female, which I presently own.

pic 3

This one is a deceased female I had that made itself noticed by eating a prized wasp queen that got loose...(possible Steatoda triangulosa)

My house is loaded with Steatoda sp

Now lets see your pics, and maybe we can rivial the widow picture thread!

here are some steatoda species of mine:

borealis:

grossa:

ha- i even got some widow shots on the steatoda thread!

and you will never rival the widow thread...

Widowman10 · 11-05-2009, 03:14 AM

also, i'd say your first spider is S. borealis. that would be my guess.

Damn, I need to get a new camera! I could have had an amazing shoot of my female S. triangulosa molting last night. And I've got 8 S. grossa females, 2 with egg sacks and one juvie that appears albino. I think I have pix of a few of mine from last year in my photo album on here but I'm not sure.

Tleilaxu · 11-05-2009, 02:23 PM

Here is my other spider, its likely Steatoda triangulosa but still too young to tell.

@Widowman: As soon as Buthus comes in here we will post picks of that Steatoda eating that widow

Anyways here are the pics.

And here is a feeding series of the other Steatoda:

^I like this one because you can see her using silk to restrain it.

Later today I will get pics of "wild" Steatoda living throughout the house....

I will probably toss them a bug or two to help them out....

As promised I toss both females a bug, one got it right away, the other was more shy and got it later, here is the pic.
