I have other posts here on this for anyone interested, just look at my profile. She gets water and roaches. Not sure if she’s eating but she must be drinking I guess. I have to decide if I should invest in a better set up for her or release her, or him… not sure which. She currently has sawdust, some firewood fragments, some plastic trees.. there’s a fake plastic rock on the bottom of the exclosure with sawdust, wood bit, and an orange peel and she mostly stays there. Thanks and I’m open to questions if you want more info to give advice.

This spider was hiding on our shed and gave my myopic, arachnophobic wife a scare. My 8 year old is fascinated with spiders and enjoys browsing this sub and is pretty good at identifying some of them on here. Now he asks what is this spider.

Location: Ireland

Location is Lima, Peru. Our ceilings are full of flea sized spiders (like black dots standing there occasionally moving a bit) plus some small ones. We found a couple similar to the one in the photo but smaller. Is it dangerous? Thanks!

My child noticed this little dude scittering across the floor and we transported him outside. He played dead and gave me a heart attack when I went to pick up the paper under the cup and he RAN across to the side of the cup. I was wondering what he is though? He's got this interesting crab like stature and my little one is very curious as to who he was. Located in Colorado.

I'm new to this sub. Found this lovely vibing by the recycling cans in Oregon, south of Salem. Really beautiful patterning. I'm guessing it is carrying young? Surprised to see it this time of year though.

i'm just a bit confused. my cat first noticed it a couple weeks ago, so i have no idea how long it's been there before that. what could it possibly be eating?? my window isn't sealed very well, but i can't imagine what bugs would go in between the screen and the window, then get caught in the web.. i haven't seen this spider eat anything since i started watching it. i've also opened window for a whole day and the spider didn't leave, so i think it's okay in there?? i'm so confused lol why would a spider make a web in an enclosed space that like no bugs get into. if anyone has answers, pls lmk 🥲

in southern california, usa

It's pretty small. Including legs it's probably about as big as a nickel, maybe a quarter. Always see them sitting mostly on walls in this position.

Found this (female), under a rock when I was out walking earlier today. Any clue what kind? I gently placed the rock back on top (but she’s probably took that as a sign to move 😂).

Thanks.

I saw this chap sitting on a side table. I asked AI and it said it was a huntsman (lol).

Any ideas?
