Description

Flying in and out of house to seal up a hole in a kitchen bench. No spiders in hole yet, assuming it is starting the seal before it deposits spider?

Update: there is now a spider in the hole I photographed her coming out of. She went in and faced outward (second photo) possibly to lay an egg on the spider.

Update: She has almost sealed another two of the four holes. Currently 2 of the holes have spiders.
