Re: What Spider Is This
Paree, from what I recall, Pholcid spiders (Family Pholcidae) primarily take very small prey ... ants and such being a common food source. An adult widow would be too large for them.
That aside, false widows are very timid. I would not worry about a possible bite from them either. Never seen S. grossa like those you have pictured. Quite lovely things. Mine (yes, I do keep them) are generally a rather boring deep brown as adults -- wish they looked more like the ones you have pictured.
