Hello,
Here is a Rose Chafer in danger!
Can we identify who is attacking it? (family, genus, species)
Picture took at Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont, USA).
Thanks again :-)
Michel

The spider has the look of a theridiid, but that's as far as I will go!

Looks very like a
Steatoda or what a relative exists in the new world.

Hello all,
Thank you very much for your help concerning this spider!
You are right! After consulting other forums, everyone agree for a Theridiidae, genus Steatoda.
For the species, it will remains Sp. :-)
Cheers!
