This spider is HUUUUUGE! This one is living over in the bush’s at @Nanoblech’s house! It’s wild how big it is. When we checked in the morning it tore down its gorgeous web!

Not sure what to hashtag with this question, but is there anyone out there who knows anything about / ? This guy has been in my yard for a couple of days and I was curious what it is, and if my dog and I should keep our distance.

“Occasionally, there are things happening that I can only explain with the theory of them having a nightmare,” Rößler says. They’ll be peacefully dangling, legs curled in neatly, when suddenly “all the legs get extended at the same time, like aah!”

I’m sorry, this is way too precious!!! 😭

There are tonnes of spiders in the garden at three moment and for the first time I actually saw an animal that had been "cocooned". Sadly yhe perpetrator crawled away before I could take a picture.

Crab spider my mum found. It's a Misumenia vatia, I think.

Just started Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and I am now a firm believer that more books should have chapters dedicated to a jumping spider’s perspective. @bookstodon

Is this a Neoscona crucifera aka Barn Spider, Spotted Orb Weaver, Hentz Orbweaver?

Illuminated with the phone's LED "flash" so I'm not certain about the color accuracy, Hentz😜 the question...

usaspiders.com/neoscona-crucif says reddish-brown... 🤔

Location: San Diego, California, tonight. :)

Was out tidying around the HVAC unit today and came upon a new-to-me teeny critter!

Luckily I had my camera handy, so discovered this quick little spidey, which I think is a male Pike Slender Jumper (Marpissa pikei)? I've never seen a jumping spider like this one. How wonderful!

Please zoom in to see the wee fella. He didn't let me get a second shot.

Newbie photgraphy continues!

Mama wolf spider with her egg case resting on the side of a water trough. And a paper wasp (Guinea, I think?) taking a break floating in the same trough. Early evening. August 2023 Central Texas.

that are not . These lack a true spider's separate abdomen, and they have only two eyes; most spiders have six or eight.
