aww i find these spiders, or i guess they find me, in the shower alot! they like to sit on the tops of the shampoo bottles. I always catch and release them, they are alot of fun to handle!
Also, @ 2:13, vreat face shot & shot of palps. I wonder at the shape of the last joint. If is a juvie, may also be male? So hard with so little contrast. =)
@SisterOfKarn I still have this spider and I believe it's a female. It should have molted by now if it's a juvie or maybe it's getting close to a molt. Just doesn't really show any signs of a molt. I only wished I could find this particular species in the spider guides. It may be in the habronattus group, but I'm not even close to being sure of that yet.
How beautiful! I've never seen one so black velvety looking before! Interesting how it has that white horizontal line at the front of its abdomen, very much like the steatoda cobweb spiders. so cute that it was taking a little spidey nap on your finger, too!
@cheshirebaby520 I found this one in a blanket that someone threw on the ground outside. The blanket had been there for a while, so I guess the spider was making it her home. Good thing I found her or she would have been thrown in the dumpster.

@Torn80cj Poor little girl. I am glad you found her too! A dumpster is no place for a pretty spider like that.
