Noble false-widow spider

Steatoda nobilis

Description:

A Steatoda nobilis (Noble false-widow spider), in her web, guarding her egg sac. The species hunts during the night, and I tried several nights in a row to snap some good pics, but I was only able to get this one pic of the adult female. Spotted on a metallic fence, near Volos city ring road, Greece.

Notes:

This is probably the first such spotting from Greece, but we came in to that final conclusion after long hours of searching and googling for similar species, in forums and spider-sites.
