Very Nice! I have a sling of one of these I found just hanging out on my door. Keeping them is almost like having an arboreal wolf spider.

So? What do you think of this. Aren't they cool?

I found this big 'ole spider on a granite island on Watson Lake, a man-made reservoir in Prescott. It was huge! No idea what it is, but it's pretty darn cool, and calm I might add.

Looks like a giant lichen orbweaver, beautiful specimen!

My big mature female Schizocosa mccooki (near 3 inch legspan!)

Olios peninsulanus spiderling eating a small silverfish. Very mellow, I like this spider, alot.

Agelenopsis aperta penultimate female. Extremely skittish, my heart was pounding during the shot in her paper towel retreat.

She's ran up my arm, and ended up on my back three times, already.

Olios peninsulanus molted. molts seem to take quite a while to occur with this genus.

Yes, it's a nice specie. They're beautiful, and pretty interesting...I find they look like Ctenidae
My slings have good growed!

And now, I've two Ancylometes bogotensis!

Is that the one i was raising and sent to John? If so, dangit! I should have kept that beauty!

New girl. H davidbowie. Glad to have another. Now to find her a mate...

 

[Smokehound714]

Looks like Araneus gemma.. but I'm sure she isn't. Her silk was a lustrous golden color, and the structure of her web differed greatly from any A. gemma I've ever seen

In addition to this, she was ENORMOUS!! Her body length almost hit 30mm! Had an awesome orange sherbet color, as well.

Adding to the confusion is the white stripe down her abdomen...

I've learned that this genus is not strictly nocturnal, and they like to bask. Normally she's pretty skittish, even with a juicy cricket in her mouth, but once she's in the sun, her color darkens rapidly, and she relaxes. Seems they like to bask. The darkening color is likely akin to a lizard darkening its color to absorb sunlight better. Her last sac was a dud, but she's clearly getting ready to make a new one, so I better get a new male for her ASAP.
