A. Spiders beginning residency (moving in); B. Spiders ending residency (moving out). The number of spiders in size classes differs due to specimens which grow from one size class to another during their period of residence. Large 5 adult plus subadult females; Medium = all other juvenile females; Small = juvenile males and females too small to sex (up to about 3 molts). A.
