Oncopeltus miles (Blanchard, 1852) View in CoL and Steatoda grossa (C.L. Koch, 1838) ( Araneae : Theriididae)

A specimen of O. miles became trapped in the web of a female specimen of the synanthropic false widow S. grossa ( Fig. 2). The bug was clearly noticed by the spider, because the bug shook the web numerous times trying to get free. This process lasted several hours until the bug finally escaped. During the entire time, the spider made no attempt to attack the bug.
