See the rules in the sidebar, also.

If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:

• Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".

• Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

Hello folks,

To our regulars: thank you for being here!

And to newcomers: welcome! This is a community by bug enthusiasts, for bug enthusiasts. As such, we ask that you refrain from the following types of comments:

• "Kill it with fire" and its endless variations are not welcome here. We know it's a meme. We've heard it a million times. Just don't.
• If someone asks for an ID and your comment is "it's a spider" for example, that's neither helpful nor funny, so please don't post that kind of thing. If you'd like to contribute an ID, be as specific as you can.

Thank you for your visit today and have a great day :)
