I was all excited when I saw her feeding on it around 11 pm and had to run and get my camera. Only this lateral view looked good on my first series of photos, so after I looked at them on the computer I went back to the garage and took another series to get the dorsal view. Unfortunately, that bothered her, and she sought cover. But there were two dead BMSBs on the window sill under her web, so I assume this is the third one she has preyed upon. There were more BMSBs crawling the walls of my garage looking for a way out, so I hope she raises many young, and they all live long and prosper, well fed on BMSBs (my daughters record how many BMSBs they drown in soapy water, and the count last fall through this spring was around 1,800, all inside the house in living areas).

to show four dead BMSBs under the web, and one of the three egg sacs this spider has produced. She is well-fed. Feel free to frass if they are deemed not to contribute to the Guide.
