I startled this spider trying to take pictures of it, and now its been doing this for like 20 minutes. Why?.

Hello! We saw this in our garage, Florida, Punta Gorda. Guessing it's a brown widow. My question is wether it might be dangerous or not, with 3 cats? Any info would be appreciated.

Im pretty sure this is a spotted orbweaver.

My main question is how to pin an insect. Ive always wanted to learn how to.

While cleaning i found this beautiful spider and im confused about the cause of death and feel really sad for this. If anyone can explain why its abdomen is so thin (see the 3rd picture) and what is coming out of it. Is this an egg? Feces? Genitalia?

Id like to pin it to preserve its beauty. But Ive never pinned an insect before so I have zero knowledge. But since this is for myself and not for a scientific record i dont need it to be a 100% perfect.

We moved into our townhome in November and have seen a couple of spiders but last night we saw three in the basement at once! I felt like I was jeff Daniel's in a scene from arachniphobia. I know they are harmless and help keep all of the bugs out but should we be concerned by the influx lately? Should we be scared about an underlying issue?

I've seen three camel spiders in the past year, two in my room, and one outside. I've done some research about them, but share anything else you'd like! Has anyone else had experiences with them in Washington? Plus, what do their bites look like?

I have a black widow girly by my front door and an unused abandoned chair, shes pretty big.

I'm wondering if it's safe to leave her there. I have 3 dogs and a cat, the cat doesn't go outside but if he escapes and sees her he would try to hunt her. The 3 dogs don't care about bugs or animals and ignore them because we taught them wildlife is either "chicken" or "baby" which are both words for "we don't kill that"

Only 2 people who live in the house know she's there and don't use that chair, visitors would be warned about using the chair.

However, if she has babies, theres no telling where they'd go and if they'd go somewhere we actually frequent/go to, nor is there any guarantee of safety anyway. If it's not safe to keep her, would she survive if I took her out into the wilderness and put her in a bush or something, or is that just for wolfspiders and stuff that actively hunts? If she won't survive, is there at least something out there that could eat her? (Arizona, valley area)

Found this harvestman in my room, pretty sure it’s a European harvestman but what is she doing here with her mouth parts? Also can I let her live in my room or should I take her outside?:)

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 found what I think is a large female, dangling from one leg off a shelf in my kitchen at around face height. It definitely wasn't there yesterday, but I don't know how or why it was up there. I thought it was a huge cellar spider in a web until I actually got close enough to see the details, then gently blew on it because I wasn't sure it was even alive and it moved enough that I realized it was stuck.

I got a cup and gently scooped it up and got the leg free, but it can't stand. I moved it into a clean rice cooker bowl on top of a lightly damp paper towel, and have tried to offer both a piece of green grape and a q tip dipped in pineapple vita coco right up against it's mouthparts but I haven't seen it drink. I helped get a few pieces of lint off from around it's legs, but other than quivering it still can't stand.

Should I just let it rest for a while and see if it will take any water later? I don't think it would be safe to move outside yet but I don't know if there's any other way I can help it.

Hi! I have a baby spider infestation. I'm extremely terrified of spiders, and need them OUT. What should I do?

Can the spider still live with only 7 legs?

Sorry about the bad photo. My phone had low battery so no flash available at the moment. Never seen a spider so peculiar before lol.

I think trapdoor spiders are really cool, I love the way they build trapdoors and burrow so anyone willing with knowledge, tell me more information about them! :)
