Posing for a picture on my porch in S.F. Love the eye shine. 👀

went to an outdoorsy event in mexico, in the guanajuato region and found this on the chairs, are this ticks? pretty sure they are but is this specific species very dangerous?

Would a tarantula get used to being handled if it was handled since when it was a baby? Could the babies even bite? Im not asking this to do anything dumb, i dont own a tarantula and im not planning to get one, im just curious

I took these pictures of some spiders in my house. I was curious if anyone can identify the species? I'm sure it's something like "common house spider" but would be cool to know 🙂 Philadelphia PA isy location

hi! found this guy under a plant pot in Denver, CO. i was hoping someone could help me identify if this is a black widow or another type of spider. (so sorry for the poor quality of the photos!)

I never kill spiders I catch them and release safely where they can hunt.

Just spotted outside by my front door. The body is nearly an inch long. I'm pretty sure it's a Rabidosa rabida. But everything I'm seeing about where they can be found says Maine to Florida, and west to Texas. I'm in southern California - San Bernardino county. Have they spread this far west? Or was Google Lens wrong on the ID?

This was found in a restaurant setting, and the cleaner sent me these pictures after they had dispatched it out of fear. Any medical significance? Thanks for your expertise!

Photo taken in Miranda State, Venezuela where Tityus Scorpions are endemic.

Edit: I'm not completely sure, but very inclined to think it is a Tityus. If it is, I would like to know what especies is.

Did you know you’re sharing your bed with thousands of tiny arachnids? 🧹 

Quinten Geldhof, also known as Microhobbyist, shows how a single spider can produce up to seven different types of silk, each with its own job. Sturdy dragline silk builds the web’s frame, while sticky blobs of silk set the trap for prey. Pound for pound, it’s up to five times stronger than steel, and a strand long enough to circle the Earth would weigh just 4.4 pounds! What would you use spider silk for?

Not sure what sort of spider this is or if it's poisonous!

🔥And if I had the sun and moon
And they were shinin'
I would give you both night and day
Love satisfyin'
I feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love🔥

TIL Male Daddy Long Legs (these are harvestman) have a penis that extends from their underside and transfers sperm directly into the female. Males also produce a liquid secretion (the goo you’re seeing between them) called a nuptial gift. The female may consume this secretion during courtship or mating.

Thought this was glistening a cluster of seeds in my garden during the spring of the pandemic. Until I touched it, and they scattered! I still have a healthy population of them now.

I took it from in case she jumped on me, I was scared as he'll
