This little jumper came for quite a ride. My friends and I went trail riding and I discovered this guy during our break. I made sure to drop him off at a perfect plant.
I was in Australia (Queensland) about a year ago. I just finished a hike through the forest, and felt something on the back of my neck. Without thinking I grabbed it and threw it on the ground (kind of a gravel road), and it was this little guy. Just the coolest little jumping spider I've ever seen.
I live in the American Midwest and my building gets a LOT of orb weavers on my balcony. I don’t mind them so much but they accumulate rapidly and have a rather successful feeding frenzy in the summer time. They get a bit territorial and when try to reason with them they just shake their webs menacingly at me. Anyway this makes having guests difficult so I am wondering if any of you fine people have suggestions for humane temporary deterrents? I’ve heard citronella is useful?
I was open the window while in the tub (it's right above the tub) and this guy fell into the water. The way it drifted in there I actually thought it was just an exuviae, or at least already dead before it fell. I fished it out with a rag regardless and a few minutes later it started walking around again. Now it's hanging out in my bathroom.
Great for getting kids to be less afraid of spiders, or just learning a lot about them. It's jam-packed with information and the illustrations are great.
I gotta know if any of you have seen this crazy thing before. I was in my garden the other day watering my Chile peppers that i grow and sell, when I spot a spider web right next to my bell pepper patch.
Discovered the spider at my residence in Baltimore, Maryland on the ceiling in the crevice where it meets the wall. As per the rules, I won't state the results of my extremely novice efforts at identification -- any help is appreciated :)
In this corner, we've had a large female widow for a year or so, but haven't seen her in a couple weeks. There are a few Pholcidae around, but this looks different. Maybe 10-12mm long legspan.
I've been watching this guy for a couple weeks now, he's visibly growing, which is cool to see, I've never observed one specific spider over a period of time
Context: some days ago, I commented in a topic about Argiope bruennichi that I had a similar spider living on my kumquat tree, later identified to be Argiope argentata. And @quinacridone@lemmy.ml asked for an update, if she laid eggs.
Went camping in northern Michigan this week and I was quite popular with the local biting flies.
Delightfully, I found this local food samaritan doing their part to save me, and they were gracious enough to show off a little for the camera.
Some kind of beautiful black widow, probably a Northern. Built her web on a bag of potting soil, so I had to scrooch her along. Absolutely gorgeous and huge! She was definitely well fed
Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.
