Jumping spiders? Ant spiders? Orb-weavers? Widows? What’s everyone’s favorite small spider species??
SameJumpers all day every day.
Ooh!! They look gorgeous!!They aren't small, but I'm a big fan of our local Sonoran Olios giganteus, the giant crab spider. Coolest true spider ever, and easy to breed.
Umm, you said they were easy to breed, do you breed them?They aren't small, but I'm a big fan of our local Sonoran Olios giganteus, the giant crab spider. Coolest true spider ever, and easy to breed.
Make sure to message me if you get babies!!Not lately, though I've got a female that's getting to that size. She is wild caught. Well I say wild-caught... She actually cutie patootied her way across my desktop this spring and virtually danced right into a habitat.
I keep thinking a male will take up residence on the ceiling sooner or later. It's definitely the season for it here as monsoon is well underway and in fact just about to wrap up soon. But I haven't seen a mate for her yet.
They are!!!Jumping spiders, they're so cute
How are you keeping your widows?? I’ve contemplated getting some of that species for a bit.Northern Black widows, and black purseweb spiders. Both are native to my area, though I have yet to find any pursewebs with all the studying this season, I'll have to wait till next season to go into those mixed forest fields for my lovely black potato spuds.
I buy fish tanks at garage sales, and cheese cloth at Walmart to tie around the lids. I like them lower to the ground, so I give mine shells and pine cones to build webs in. I think I have a few pictures in the gallery of them.How are you keeping your widows?? I’ve contemplated getting some of that species for a bit.
Same!!I'm biased for the little jumping spiders It was the very first true spider I was ever willing to handle when I first got over my fear of spiders.
