Ah yes, the second most overly feared spider of all time! (Only coming second to Latrodectus mactans) Poor arachids always getting blamed for everything . Loveeeee your specimen btw.

 

Thanks, she is very interesting to watch, hoping to catch her a male soon!

 

Genus???? Species????

Phidippus Audax?

 

Verrucosa arenata I caught the other night

 

Araneidae (Araneus sp. ?) From Turks and Caicos

 

Presumed Eratigena atrica munching down on a mealworm. The speed of this spider amazes me.

 

Sicarius Terrosus

 

Ctenus Red fang

 

Didn't work.

 

These spiders are running all over the rocks on the shore of Lake Stanley Draper, OK.

 

Some shots of my recently hatched bold jumping spider slings (Phidippus audax). See the photos with the US penny for size reference - they are so small it is hard to get a shot of them holding still.

 

Adult male Phidippus Regius.

 

L. Mactans Female, sub-adult. Still has juvenile markings on back and hourglass hasnt fully formed.

 

Sicarius sp.


Loxosceles deserta


Arctosa santaerosae


Hogna lenta

 

Sicarius terrosus- MM

 

H. carolinensis glamour shot!

 

Are you sure this isn't L. variolus

 

I live on a barrier island outside of Charleston, South Carolina. This beauty was on my deck this morning, I thought it was a bumble bee at first then realized it was some type of wolf spider. The markings are so unusual on the back! Does anyone know the species? Thank you! I scooped him onto a piece of paper to put into the grass and observed him in a defensive posture.

 

That's a jumping spider. Phidippus audax is my guess. Or a male Phidippus Regius.

 

Thank you so much! I searched the internet for hours with no luck. Appreciate the info!!
