Thanks! I think you're right on the money there. Beautiful lil bugs, will be nice to see them around

Thank you! Though from what I can see they don't have as much patterning as he does, are they fairly variable? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Queen (Latrodectus hesperus) She had a snack of 3 ground beetles, ate every one with gusto and then dropped them to the...

Platycryptus undatus would be my guess, if so they like plenty of opportunity to climb and tight spaces to crawl into.

Found 3 of these beautiful lil' things in various places around the yard and was wondering if someone could help enlighten me. They seem exceptional at climbing and are fairly resilient for little guys, about 10-15mm in length and found in Northern California. Thanks muchly.

Jumpers Phidippus sp. #1 A young P. audax or P. johnsoni perhaps? #2 This one is very shy and hard to photograph, the stayed still just long enough for me to capture this one. I'm not sure if their abdominal patterns can be accurately used to ID or how much variation their is, but she kind...

Thank you for the info! Here's hoping for a female. Lycosidae #3 This girl with 7 legs is much greyer than the other Lycosids I have and has a lovely pattern on the ventral side of her abdomen unlike the others who are all uniform underneath. After looking through keys and field reports as...

Is there anything in particular that gives it away? I'd love to get a fairly positive ID on this one in particular becausr she reminds me of a mini tarantula.

My S. polymorpha, moves so darn quick it's hard to get a full body shot in focus.

Just a place for me to put random pictures of my spiders. Of course feel free to correct any and all of my ID's and to suggest improvements on anything you see enclosure wise etc. Any advice is welcomed. Colonus hesperus Phidippus johnsoni? Xysticus sp A few days ago she made an egg sac...

Now that's a neat beetle! Really like that guy.

Oh wow! Reminds me of glass frogs! Nature sure is amazing.

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help Id the species of this beautiful lil' fella who ran right in front of me while holding a catching jar (I'm regularly out in the yard looking for various critters) This is the second Wolf in my possession, the other is extremely shy and I haven't been...
