Anatomy
The male hobo spider can reach up to 15 mm, while the male can only reach up to 11mm. They have an abdomane which is the second main body part. Then they have a palp wich is what they use for reproduction purposses. Also immature spiders don't have anything in their reproductive areas. The palp is also the round ball like structure on the end of the two front feelers. Then they have a sternum which is located on the bottum of the cephalothorax, which is the flat structure that is surrounded by the leggs. Finally the females have an Epigynum which is the reproductive part of the female hobo spider. The Egipynum is a hard, dark colored structure in the middle of the abdomen by the cephalothorax. The hobo spider has a light stripe running down the middle of their sternum. Also they have indistinct patterns. The leggs of the hobo spider are colorfull.
Reproduction
The hobo spider usually enters a home when it is looking for mates. The hobospiders preform this around the time of August. The male hobo spider gets eaten after evrytime 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 tanggle these eggs in a web sac ang 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 mateing 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 overy based structure. The female hobo spider will wait for the eggs to be fertalized before placeing them in the web egg sac.
