Hmm... dean_k, what are you going to do with this spider? Keep it?
Well, I keep ants and keeping a spider seems to be a conflict of interest... I mean ... what would a spider love which I have plenty? Ants...
Anyway, it is still alive. I am pretty sure it is a female because the other I caught was only half of its size and its gaster was significantly smaller. The size of the one that's alive is 5mm with its gaster taking 3mm of the size.
It is currently being kept at a THA liquid feeder which I initially caught it with. It's spun a web and it's hanging it from upside down. It seems it likes to hang upside down because I tried to turn the container upside down and it keeps going back to upside down position.
The only reason it is alive is because the other one I caught which I froze it for few hours was rejected by all colonies. Even Formica rejected it.
