The same spider originally shown in sighting 4373081. The first photo was taken on 3 May just after she had produced a ninth egg sac and had not fed substantially since 8 April. The second photo was taken on 6 May after she had finished feeding on the four moths seen in sighting 4380510. Her abdomen looks noticeably plumper after feeding. She caught another five moths on 7 and 8 May.
