Funnel-web tub spider - Hololena - female

Funnel-web tub spider - Hololena - Female
Salt Lake, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
December 31, 1969
Size: 3/8 inch
Just wanted to share these photos. Found this funnel-web spider in the tub standing hunched on her tippy-toes with smaller spider remains all around her. She was tethered to the bottom front of the tub, still finishing off a meal (which, judging from the coloring, looks like it could have been her relative). Is this common to tether to an object while eating or could she have been planning to molt there after dinner? Her hunch-backed look was rather strange.
