Mystery Scoop: Two Tropical Tent-Web Spiders (Cyrtophora citricola) in close touch...

But why, to what end..? When taking pictures like this, on the fly, often under less than favorable
conditions, I rarely get a sequence because the targets get alarmed and run for cover. After all, spiders
are quite fickle and I am less than a yard away from them. In hindsight I seem to have gotten two
females, somehow busy with eggs of the one to the left, if eggs they are. Updates once I learn more...
