I'll admit it - his relative size impressed me! ;-)

This spider has been looking really decrepit for a while, and, in fact, may no longer be with us at this point. The first time I saw him, he was balled up in the "dead spider pose" on the floor by the baseboard, but I blew on him and he moved. Much to my surprise, a couple days later I found him off the floor in this web, so I took this photo. A few days later he was back on the floor in a crumpled pose.

I don't know if it can be told from this photo, but is he a steatoda? He was near at least one female and a couple others of (at this point) undetermined gender who I think are steatodas. I think I have a photo of him at home in his crumpled pose - I'll try to post that as well - maybe his back can be made out in that one.
