Scytodes thoracica (spitting spider)

These are in Nebraska? Very cool. I saw more than a few orb weavers in my time there.

Have you been to the grass fields over on East Campus? It's on the East side of the East Campus. Where they let the vegetation just... grow. You'll find all manner of invertebrates there, I wish that I had been more into the hobby back then. I remember seeing an orb weaver that freshly caught a cicada, and was winning. Very impressive.

@EulersK this is the second one I have found in my apt. Three years ago we had a large orb weaver build a web in our window frame. My wife (then terrified of spiders) became quite attached to it and was sad to see it go come winter. The following year we had one on our deck. The first year of my clerkship, I had a brown recluse crawl down the wall next to my desk. I'll admit I was startled.

@CyclingSam Yeah, more than a few brown recluses out there. I was surprised at that, I thought that they liked it drier.
