 Hobo Spider Web Site: European house spiders as competitors/predators
As hobo spiders are noticeably absent from the premises of most buildings with large domestica colonies, yet are present in similar habitats where domestica has not established colonies, the domestic house spider can be exemplified as a competitor which can successfully prevent the invasion of hobo spiders by the principle of competitive exclusion.
Domestic house spider colonization should be encouraged in rural areas within the North American range of the hobo spider; destroying domestica colonies with sprays, bug bombs etc. in such areas is extremely foolish, and is an open invitation for subsequent invasion by the hobo spider.
Agelenopsis grass spiders are found throughout the North American range of the hobo spider.

 Scanning Electron Microscopy of the grass spider Hololena adnexa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The grass spiders (family Agelenidae) are common spiders throughout North America and Europe, and the genus Hololena is a group endemic to the Western U.S. (Chamberlin and Ivie, 1942).
The specimen to be imaged was collected from a shrub on campus, euthanized by cooling in a -20°C freezer, and dissected into two parts for fixation-- the anterior end of the cephalothorax, including the head and first two pairs of legs, and the posterior end, including the 3rd and 4th leg pairs and the abdomen.
In future preparations, since spiders are normally stored in 70 or 90 percent ethanol, and their soft tissues that require glutaraldehyde and osmium fixation are of less interest for spider systematics, some of the fixation steps could be foregone, starting the drying series at whatever concentration the animal was stored in.
