Not the happiest spider hunting grounds

The kitchen spider is still there, but it appears to be slimming down considerably. It's not much bigger, but it doesn't look nearly as plump as it did last wednesday. Unfortunately for this spider, not only is it very small, but the only flying vermin we've got in our house are various grain and fruit moths, both of which have been spotted flying blithely around the spiderweb, but not into it.

I'm not sure what the irregular bulge is. Perhaps it caught something that managed to bite a chunk out of its exoskeleton before it either escaped or was eaten. The best thinks that it might actually be eggs, and she's the one who's descended from biologists, so it may be superior genetic knowledge.
