Food storage - False Button Spider (Theridion delicatum) Theridiidae

Over the weekend I was sorting out some old papers which were in a blue plastic trunk and when I took it outside to clean and turned it over I found this.......
Sitting nearby was a tiny False Button Spider........

I am not sure what these are but look like it might be crickets about to hatch.
and I am sure that this was her food supply for her babies when the are born.
I did a previous article on them, please click here to see it and read more on this interesting spider: Black / Brown Widow Spider
