Araneomorph (True Spider) Picture Thread

[Ciphor]

Awesome pictures Zon. Damn you guys and your fancy macro lenses! I'll get one some day!

That is most certainly D. albineus I can see some curled out hairs in the first & second picture, which is distinct to that species.

That is a species of Scytodes, but, It is very long legged, which should make it not S. thoracica, but rather a newly introduced species Scytodes globula

Thanks for the IDs, Ciphor(and John Koerner). Just a $300 prosumer cam & cheap Raynox lens+ sweaty experimentation

I was a little underwhelmed by the spider action this trip but did see a lot of fantastic verts & inverts(pics forthcoming)

Man, some great pictures dropped since I last checked!

I got a new spider I found the other night I need to get some pics of it up as I need help IDing it. At first I thought it was a Drassodes sp due to the spinnerets but on closer inspection I was way out lol. It's got a Drassodes lapidosus build with fangs like a Dysdera which is what made me think it isn't a Drassodes so yea I'll try and get a pic up later of it.

In the mean time, keep the pics dropping. Got some stunning spiders in here so far!

Phidippus audax

I found one of these on my friends screen door, i caught it and tried to get a good pic of it but alas, phone camera cant pick up small spideys. Love the green

 

[Ungoliant]

I love the pictures of the Dolomedes tenebrosus spiderlings!

Here is a better shot of one of my captive female Kukulcania hibernalis that was taken a few days after she molted.


and a "wild" male Kukulcania hibernalis that I found in my bathtub

 

[catfishrod69]

You should have seen them lol. Fast, ballooners, jumpers. She dropped 3 huge sacs for me too. I love your hibernalis female. Maybe this september in NC ill finally find one.

I love the pictures of the Dolomedes tenebrosus spiderlings!

Love that photo of Garfield!

 

[Curious jay]

found this one running up my wall whilst in bed, I believe its some sort of Drassode as it has the characteristic spinnerets but i haven't looked further into it as haven't had the time.

had poor lighting so it was under a flashligh.

some amazing pictures in here too!

 

[Storm76]

Awesome pictures in here. That one from the Eresus moravicus is kinda cute - was that a threat pose?

 

[Tarantula_Hawk]

Yea it was throwing a threat display. They do that a lot (at least this female does). It doesnt really work though cause they dont really have a menacing look.

As for Curious_jay, that is a Gnaphosidae but not a Drassodes. It's a female Scotophaeus blackwalli.
