I think this female is mature now. I fed it and today (2-13-10) I checked and saw a shed skin and a different looking spider.

Specimen (m/f lot): kmp-06323

N. montana?
I'm wondering if this might be N. montana, because of comments by Roberts in his field guide (1996). In there he mentions that N. montana has rings on the legs (annulated) but that N. clathrata does not.

Both species occur in your area.

Yes, without any other evidence to the contrary, I would move them.
