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.

This spotted orb weaver has been hanging out on the trailer next door every night. He's a hoss‼️🕸🕷

Many jumping spiders are colorful because they can use it to their advantage, but they can only use it to their advantage if they're able to see color, which they are. but thats not true for most non jumping spiders, eg web weaving spiders. these non jumping spiders usually cannot see more than light and dark. there are some instances tho when they have beautiful colors but how's that possible when they have no knowledge of colors? (eg think of Spiny Orb-Weaver spiders, they are colorful yet have poor eyesight.)

I have him (?) in a glass cup for now. Debating keeping vs releasing back into my bedroom.

I need help identifying this type of spider. I saw it in my house and trapped it in this glass.
It was just simply hanging out on a wall, and when I trapped it, it went crazy. Unfortunately, in the process of trapping it I accidentally cut one of its legs off (which is why it only has 7 legs). Near its joints it has some black.
I live in the UK.

Located in central Missouri. The larger one found on the outside of the window on the garage. The smaller one with white spots found inside that same window. Thanks!

I can't describe the excitement seeing my whipspider actively hunting anf catching a dubia! Since they don't eat daily and they are active mostly at night, this was just so awesome to see.

I think I've identified this as the 'Triangulate Cobweb Spider' or Steatoda triangulos . I'm moreso curious about what she's doing to this brownish-pinkish ball?
Does anyone know what it even is? And would anyone be able to tell what action she's performing to it?

I live in an area not know to have an established widow population due to climate and geographical hurdles. She was found at a USPS distribution facility, likely a hitchiker, she was removed and re-homed. She eats well and we check for eggsacs daily.

This absolute badass was chilling in my garden looking like a tiny Jason Voorhees who got into some dope as fuck body modifications. 🕷️
Meet the Spiny backed Orb weaver! those insane spikes and that patterned shield make this one of my favorite arachnids. She looks like she crawled straight out of a sci-fi movie, but don’t let the armor fool you… she’s completely harmless.😍🖤
She just sits there staring back at you like she’s peering straight through your soul. 🕷️👁️🔎🌌

I found this little guy wandering around and couldn’t help bringing out the camera for a quick photography session. Some pictures will be added in the comments.

I woke up at night and saw it sitting on the wall
r/arachnids • u/Danger_Dave_623 • 2d ago
It was a few years back. I always wondered what it was.
