Oecobius cellariorum - female

Oecobius cellariorum - Female
Moorestown, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
January 28, 2010
Size: Maybe around 2.5 - 3 mm?
I believe that this isn't going to get an ID, but before I post any more images (I have several spiders in Oecobius already) I just wanted to see if it was an adult female?
More going on than here

Thanks
I thought she was mature. I'll let her go Tuesday (next day I'm in the office) and look for an adult male.

 
..
You can send her along, too, if you are still willing. :-)

I tried
but sorry to say that while trying to get her from a storage vial to the alcohol vial, she ran up my shirt sleeve never to be seen again! I'll need to get another one from work. There is a good population there.

 
LOL
Thanks for the laugh, John. Maybe she's still there (or in the shower drain). :-)

The bright side is...
I'll never again have to body-check for ticks after hiking!

I easily found 6-8 around the office without looking very hard. I checked the 3 largest ones and they were immature females. I'll check them again soon. I'm never sure if/how indoor populations maintain a seasonal breeding schedule. Do they still mature in the spring or fall as they would outside, or does it become random over time, hmmmm...
