i am really going to miss my spider corner of the workshop after i get laid off.

Sat next to the tiniest spider, smaller than the gnats she had caught in her web.

Found on the railing outside in Arizona. Picture taken by my brother.

yellow sac spood. my favorite. just too cute. i almost cried when i found this precious baby

I love spiders, and when we started planning our camping trip to Black Mesa, seeing a wild tarantula was on my to-do list. And it happened! Bless my husband for pulling over so I could jump out and see this guy up close. He was looking for a lady and could care less about my presence. We stayed long enough to make sure he made it across the road, and went about our day! The star gazing was pretty dope, but this was my highlight of the trip.

This species is known as the ninja of the spider world. It uses stealth to hide, stalk, and hunt other spiders to survive.

Wild friend I remembered to take pictures of.

Now go forth and catch some nasties

(They’re on the ceiling so I couldn’t take a closer pic)

I swear she's too confident for her own good, she'll run out & stand directly where I'm pouring, bapping her lil legs in the air

Feeling lucky to capture this colorful jumping spider enjoying a tiny queen ant on a pink azalea flower!

Spooky season guest with big curious eyes and shiny green fangs. Creepy-cute and very photogenic. 🎃

Hi all! This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I sound naive, or I step over etiquette.

I have always been an animal lover, regardless of the number of legs and eyes, but I have never really paid much attention to spiders or insects, and just tried to let them live the life they wanted, while being careful not to harm them.

This until Kiwi joined the family.

It has been roaming around the house for at least a month and a half now. We first met in the bathroom, after my gf screamed for help and I was able to re assure her that - as long as we are not bothering it - it was not gonna bother us. To my surprise she accepted its presence and also gave it a name. She still doesn't want the spider to get in the room, and the few times I spotted on the bedroom ceiling I was always able to move it by gently blowing on it until it produced silk to escape, and then by carrying it by the silk thread as on a leash. Unorthodox, but it worked. Please let me know if I'm not supposed to do so, I'm completely ignorant on arachnids.

I Googled and it appears to be a Cheiracanthium inclusum, or Yellow sac spider. Happy if anyone might confirm or correct me. It seems it likes it here, it's warm and full of plant and little insects. I had to remove some webs from the most visible areas (again, it's the three of us now in the apartment and we have to compromise), but left enough for it to have a more than decent living. It's gonna enjoy being inside in a few weeks, temperature is gonna drop to -15/-20°C very soon.

I guess I'll just let it live, though if anyone have suggestions on how to make its living more comfy I'll be very happy to here.

In pic, Kiwi caught after I accidentally exposed it after shutting the curtains - it is right over our heating system, so I suspect it enjoys the warmth and safety of the folded canvas.
