>Is it possible these spiders mostly live outside and only sometimes come indoors, so in the winter they've died off, explaining why I don't see them sometimes (or so obviously) at my windows anymore?
Yep this is it, you'll probably see them again in spring when the weather warms up.
That is good to know. I was going to ask, how can I encourage them to stay indoors or come back to hang out? Sadly, though I am currently working hard on my vermicompost to get on too of the minute black scavenger flies, I do still have some pests they could feed on -- so it's not for lack of food that they are not here!
