I captured this one bout a week ago . Was standing just outside the door of the building where i work. Brought her back home to save her from the cold outside and from the others who work in the same building.

Here is what she did as a web, i'm realy realy curious to know whether there is eggs inside that ball of substrate or not. I know nothing about the way Agelenopsis lay their eggs.

here is a better view of it

Next is the biggest of the two. This next spider is probably 2-3 times bigger than the first one. I captured this one two days ago , she was hiding behind a trash can at work.

I like seeing them drink ::lol::.

Size comparison, trust me she looks alot bigger in reality Razz

for some reason she doesn't seem as impressive on that picture as she did when i took the shot . Oh well...

She still didn't start any web , i'll post updates when there is more to see. I think she's waiting to see if she'll get any food before she starts working on a web. Food is to come shortly, i was out of crix when i captured her and she does have a good size to her abdomen so she isn't craving for food right now .

If any of you know about the ball of substrate that my first one made . As to whether it's an eggsac or not plz reply. Also if you know witch species it is. I would like to know. I'm 100% positive about Genus Agelenopsis , just have no idea about species Razz

Enjoy

By the way i found a third one at the same place i found the first one yesterday. Sadly that one was already dead, probably squished by one of those multiple Arachnophobes that came in the building the day before. I guess this time of year all grass spiders tend to search for a building to get into.

3 spiders of the same species around the same building demanding rescue within a week and a half.

I'm guessing i'm not done with rescues yet ::lol::.

This is cool!

Most likely that ball of substrate is what it is, a ball of substrate in a spider's web. I've seen things like this in spider webs in my local park. But of course there's always the possibility of me being wrong. Razz

And there's a strong suspicion that there is at least one if not more species of spiders that cover their egg sacs with dirt and stuff to make them more inconspicuous and Agelenopsis might be one of them.

She's adorable btw! Mr. Green
