This sweetie set up house next to my nightlight in my bathroom back in May. She’s been quite successful with her hunting. I don’t know what those bugs are, I suppose some sort of fly, but I don’t see many flies in the house. Also, the spider in the web was lurking about for a couple of days before I found it in this condition.
Regardless, I’m wondering what might happen in the coming weeks. My main concern is baby spiders. I don’t see any egg sacs.
I’m tempted to evict her. It’s been fun and real, but I think our Summer romance is over.

Trying to evict her might be risky. In fact, I’d advise that you build her a shrine and start praying to her.
We have a full compliment of house spiders, just leave them all alone.
I don’t see any egg sacs.
That’s how you know they’re there. Sneaky fellas.
Ugh.
By the remains piled at the bottom, I’d say you have more roommates than her.
Does my adult son count?
I’m not seeing him in there, but not sure if recognize him.
He’s 6’3" and 200 pounds. I don’t see him there, either.
That must be a relief
First we have to figure out what kind of spider it is exactly. The web looks cribellate, I suspect something in Amaurobiidae or related but that’s a pretty broad stoke.
Do you have any more pictures and a geographic location?
I don’t know what those bugs are, I suppose some sort of fly, but I don’t see many flies in the house.
You’re so close
I know the implication is she’s catching the flies, but I don’t see them ANYWHERE in the house. I would expect to see them in the kitchen where there are no spiders, but none in the bathroom.
Wow, look at that molt! She’s been eating good!
