I love this thread, as usual stunning pictures, no one can argue about that . Allow me to do some nitpicking though: Misumenops tricuspidatus is now known as Ebrechtella tricuspidata; and are you sure its Steatoda grossa? Looks like S. bipunctata to me.:?
Enough, again wonderful pictures.

Thanks, especially for the identification
As a coleopterologist I always neglect spider taxonomy
Yup, you are right. I was just reading something about S. grossa and wrote a wrong name.

Crazy pics! Art, nature... however that old saying goes... :worship:

Wow, those nematodes are nasty suckers!! I can't fathom how they fit in the spider without killing it before full grown.

Agelena labyrinthica looks like my grass spider when he was penultimate.
