He (she?) is a cutie pie and does such a great job at getting rid of pesky little flies.

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.

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.

Location: west-flanders, belgium

Unsexed Subadult ~2.5 in (6.25 cm) DLS

My female GHS enjoying a mealworm

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.

Super leggy ~3 inch (8cm) juvie hovering their water dish

Southern Wisconsin

Great Lakes region, USA. June 2026.

Very close looking to some wolf spiders, but they're not closely related.

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.

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?

Spotted this beefy beauty in the Columbia River Gorge area, Oregon.

Possibly Apollophanes margareta?

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).

Found this friendly little jumper while spider spotting in the Gorge.

Looks like a Platycryptus - maybe P. californicus?

Great Lakes region, USA. June 2026.

I'm not sure what spider it is, maybe a sheetweb spider, they're pretty common around here.

Found on the underside of a potted pepper plant in north-western Germany.

Very lively for a spider. It moved in a way that made me think it could see me and react to to my presence.
