Steatoda, I'm fairly certain - Steatoda borealis - female

Steatoda, I'm fairly certain - Steatoda borealis - Female
Herndon, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
October 14, 2006
Size: 19/64"
Can anyone get it closer than that? She's been in my basement for months now, sharing the back of a 8" x 10" framed picture on the floor leaning against the wall with this Spermaphora for quite a while. I've been amazed she hasn't eaten it, since she's much larger. I don't know what she's surviving on, but she looks pretty healthy to me. She likes to hide under the frame, but I finally coaxed her out and got these shots of her.
