[QUOTE="Cody-Myles, post: 123699, member: 27027"] Also other research into these suggested to me that the female spends her entire life in her web in one spot (if not disturbed or forced to move elsewhere) and it's pretty much guaranteed to be a male running around your house in autumn during mating season in search of a female. They're reported to be the fastest spider in the world (in relation to body and leg length to speed comparison to other spiders). They are also apparently the only spider that mates for life. Once the male finds a female and successfully mates, the male will spend the rest of his short life in the females web with her until he dies naturally. They have also apparently found their way to the shores of the US where they're competing with their native equivalent, the hobo spider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
