La araña Steatoda triangulosa al acecho // The Steatoda triangulosa spider on the prowl
Dentro de mi casa me he encontrado con la imagen cruel de lo que pareciera un cementerio de insectos de diferentes familias, como: hormigas, moscas, mosquitos y hasta otras especies de arañas. Digo otras especies, porque resulta que mirando detalladamente en el borde superior de la pared pude observar a una araña que no llegaba a medir ni 1 cm de longitud, pero tenía un opistosoma redondeado y muy grande en comparación con las otras partes de su cuerpo.
Inside my house I have found the cruel image of what seems like a cemetery of insects from different families, such as: ants, flies, mosquitoes and even other species of spiders. I say other species, because it turns out that looking closely at the upper edge of the wall I could see a spider that was less than 1 cm long, but had a opisthosoma rounded and very large compared to the other parts of its body. Su color beige y las líneas oscuras de color marrón y trazado en forma de triángulos (en zigzag) son características morfológicas muy particulares de la Especie Steatoda triangulosa, perteneciente a la Familia Theridiidae con la peculiaridad que sus quelíceros se curvan como si se tratara de unas pinzas. Lo cierto es que poseen un aparato bucal bastante robusto y sus patas vienen dotadas de dentículos para el mejor agarre de sus presas. Its beige color and the dark brown lines traced in the form of triangles (zigzag) are very particular morphological characteristics of the Species Steatoda triangulosa, belonging to the Family Theridiidae with the peculiarity that their chelicerae are curved as if they were tweezers. The truth is that they have quite robust mouthparts and their legs are equipped with denticles for a better grip on their prey.Las imágenes y vídeos son originales de este autor y libero los derechos de copia para que sean usados libremente en cualquier momento y circunstancia.

Awesome article! I've not come across this species before (though they apparently occur here) and honestly I think I would have first assumed it to be Theridion sp. Such a small Steatoda species! But still the messy eaters all Theridiids seem to be. Thanks so much for sharing!
