Phaeneroptera nana & Parasteatoda tepidariorum

I found Ms. P. tepidariorum feeding on Mr. P. nana under the eaves of Mojo’s house. I was fascinated by the abdomen of Ms. P. tepidariorum, which appeared to be irridiscent in the daylight. In the second picture you can see the egg sacs of Ms. P. tepidariorum. Honey this is what I call Desperate Housewives.
