The hobo spider usually enters a home when it is looking for mates. The hobo spiders preform this around the time of August. The male hobo spider gets eaten after every time it mates. Also the males life only exists for a few months while the female lives for two years. When the female hobo spider lays eggs she lays seven white eggs. She will tangle these eggs in a web sac and dangle them from something. The mating of the hobo spider happens in autumn. The male hobo spider uses his palps to inject sperm during the mating process. First he will build a very small triangular web where he will then take a drop of sperm and place it on the web. Then once the drop of sperm is on the web he will use one of his palps the stick in the sperm. The male hobo spider will put the sperm in the females two egg based structure. The female hobo spider will wait for the eggs to be fertilize before placing them in the web egg sac. | |||
