User's notes
The White-tailed spider was probably on borrowed time. Close inspection of the rear righthand leg adjacent to the waist shows what appears to be a tiny white parasitic egg possibly placed by a parasitic wasp. This can be seen in several of the images but is most obvious in the final image.
