Found this one outside while on vacation last week. Big but relatively docile.
My little pal Martin, who always needs to be rescued from the bathtub (hence the towel, for maximum grip)
He (she?) is a cutie pie and does such a great job at getting rid of pesky little flies.
found this little jumping spider on thw wall
Thought it was a fly at furst. Was aproaching with a swatter when I recognised it.
It was very interested by the camera and kept on running towards it.
This spider lives in the lamp by my door. Can anyone ID it?
Found a spider by my front door can someone identify it?

My parents found this one in the garden. I may go and visit tomorrow to get some picures taken!
Edit: travelled to my parents place to go and take some pictures myself. Hope you'll like them.

Hapalopus sp. "Colombia" Klein (Dwarf Pumpkin Patch)
Unsexed Subadult ~2.5 in (6.25 cm) DLS
Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow)
I found this girl in an unfortunate location in the garden that required me to rehome her, and I decided to keep her in my collection - at least for now.
This is the first Latrodectus species I've kept in captivity, though I've wanted to keep one for a while.
Xenesthis immanis (Colombia Lesserblack)
Super leggy ~3 inch (8cm) juvie hovering their water dish

Very close looking to some wolf spiders, but they're not closely related.
Avicularia avicularia eating a hornworm
Avicularia avicularia Pinktoe Tarantula ~3.5 in (9 cm) unsexed juvenile

Little critter was making a nest in my tent. Had to move him out when packing up.
Oh, Orbweaver, I believe we can reach the morning ligghhht!
Great Lakes region, USA. June 2026.
I believe this is a sixspotted orbweaver (Araniella displicata). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm guessing it's a male?
Hefty running crab spider
Spotted this beefy beauty in the Columbia River Gorge area, Oregon.
Possibly Apollophanes margareta?
My crab spider friends are back!
Great Lakes region, USA. June 2026.
I've been on the lookout for flower oriented crab spiders for a few weeks and I'm finally spotting them. I think she's a lady 'cause she's thicc. I'm fairly sure she's a Goldenrod Crab Spider (Misumena vatia).
Jumping spider in Columbia River Gorge
Found this friendly little jumper while spider spotting in the Gorge.
Looks like a Platycryptus - maybe P. californicus?
