Observations

This specimen was observed cohabitating amongst other larger and smaller arachnids. In the shared space, that of which was a basement window, there was an unusually low amount of cobwebs for the collection of spiders. There was no evidence of prey left dead or uneaten, all spiders seemed to work together to utilize consuming all available prey. All spiders, but more specifically the arthopod collected, tended to seek shelter in the corners of the windows, only occasionally moving around away from their favorite spot.

Putative identification Arthropoda Arachnida Araneae
