Encounter between a false black widow spider (Steatoda Triangulosa) and a Spitting spider (Scytodes Fusca).

The Steatoda Triangulosa is common within the genus Steatoda, with a rounded, bulbous abdomen that is light brown or even black in color. Unlike the black widow or the Latrodectus, they do not have red spots in the shape of an hourglass. The male is usually smaller than the female, they can lay three or more egg sacs a year containing forty to one hundred young.

Scytodes Fusca is a species commonly associated with human habitations, but they are also frequent in the field, in hollow tree trunks, under loose bark, and in nests of small mammals. Mature individuals are darker in overall body coloration than most species in the genus. They shoot their webs from their mouths at high speed.
