    It’s quite common in some spiders to have a “maturity moult” after which the spider will change their behaviour to focus on reproduction. They will often stop eating and males will go wandering around looking for females, while the females will build and guard an egg sac.

        Haha, maybe. It was just some general info. “Window spider” is not a colloquial name for any specfic group of spiders as far as I am aware, so I have no idea what kind of spider you actually had there.
