spiders I found in my house...

WithCerberus · Jun 8, 2004

I just wanted to start a thread for people to post pictures of spiders that they have found in their houses and ask any questions that they might have about them. Here are two species that I have in my house. The first two are of a spider that I think may be Steatoda grossa although i'm not sure. I found it in my basement with a male in its web so i captured them both, witnessed them mate, and now have an eggsac in her jar. She is a really fun little spider who my mother would have squished without a second thought. Any tips on how to raise the spiderlings when they hatch? should I remove the eggsac now? The third picture is a spider I found crawling on the wall in my basement. I really don't know what it is. Any pointers would be appreciatted. I'll be adding more as soon as I get back home again. Let's see all the spiders that you guys have in your houses.

Thanks bud. You'll notice my post was for inverts found around my home. I am sure WithCerberus won't mind that I included a photo of Scutigera coleoptrata with my arachnid photos.

No worries, my fault for throwing it into the mix... I thought he's pretty creepy looking and worth a look.
I hope you enjoyed the pics

I should have put inverts in the name of the thread other than just spiders. The more pics, questions and stories the better

. Very nice pics RMbolton. Do you know what species picture number 8 is? It is a beautiful one. It looks like Dysdera crocata without the enourmous chelicerae. I think my third picture is the same species as your first. Do you know what that one is?

The spider in number 8 is a Broad-Faced Sac Spider (Trachelas tranquillus).
The first spider is a Yellow Sac Spider (Chiracanthium mildei) - a Mediterranean native, now common in the homes of Northeastern US and Canada where it builds tiny sac-like webs in the retreats along the angles where walls and ceilings meet.
