I caught this huge Steatoda grossa spider living in my Dubia roach colony, eating baby roaches to her heart's content. I've had her in a different container for about a month now eating mealworms. What should I name her?

Figure 1 in Dong et al. (2025): "Fecundity schedules (mean number of spiderlings per female produced in each consecutive egg sac) of female Steatoda grossa spiders fed constantly with late instar cricket nymphs (red boxes) or intermittently with mid instar cricket nymphs (blue boxes). Boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR) of the data with the top and bottom edges of the box indicating the first and third quartiles. Black lines inside boxes represent the median. The whiskers extend from the box to the minimum and maximum values within a certain range, and data points beyond whiskers are considered outliers"

‼️Now that's a spider‼️
This false widow was snapped in Essex by our pest proofing surveyor Jonathon. You might spot some in your house this time of year as they venture indoors in search of shelter and warmth!

So pinning the spider was just the start, now it’s been put in a display case and is appearing in random locations around the house

This is a false widow that was found dead but was a good specimen so was originally pinned but now has been put in a black display case

One of our daughter’s found a dead spider. Said it was a ‘good specimen’ to pin.

Fair enough, just didn’t expect her to leave it on the bench in the garage so it’s the first thing you see when you walk in, always makes me jump!

Moving some old garden furniture and came across several of these little beauties/horrors (delete as necessary)

The UK doesn’t have many venomous spiders, but this is one of them: the noble false widow. Loads of them in the West Midlands and, specifically, the log store in our garden. #Spider #Arthropod #FalseWidow

a triangulate cobweb spider, or steatoda triangulosa! the abdomens on the guys are pretty small, but it's worth taking a close look for that fun harlequin pattern 😊 #spider #steatoda #steatodatriangulosa #cobwebspider #falsewidow #arachtober
A small brown spider. The abdomen has a pattern of darker triangles on the outside, creating lighter diamond shapes on the inside. This gives it a harlequin pattern sort of look. The cephalothorax is completely a dark brown, allowing the fun abdomen pattern to shine.
