Dysdera crocata "trap" tunnels..

These spiders build a network of several burrow entrances, designed to lure woodlice seeking refuge to their doom.

After building the tunnels, they lay strands of silk triplines, so they know exactly which hole the isopod entered.

I never knew they did this, very fascinating! These spiders are now one of my favorites.

haplogynes FTW!

My friend found this MM Hololena sp. in her bed, saved it from her cat and brought him to me. Sadly, it's been a bit cold so I figured I'd let him decide: he can overwinter in my apartment (assuming he lives that long) or he can escape; let him loose in the kitchen about a week ago, and I've seen him about the house a few times. Guess he's staying in for now. He's very lovely; I think I might snag a few ladies of this species when it gets warmer.

Sub-adult male Dysdera crocata, and a really mean one, at that.

Mature female Peucetia viridans in the middle of moving her eggsac and cricket.

I'll try to get a better shot of my female Hololena santana.. she's beautiful, with dark contrasting patterning.

Awesome.

Not sure. Found in Northeast Florida near Jacksonville. ID pending. Rick Vetter hasn't had a chance to review my submitted photos yet.

Will update with confirmed ID if/when received.

I can tell you... this one is very shy, hates light, and is a good eater. She only eats a small cricket (which is too big but she fills up and drops it) every 2 weeks. I'm hoping for a molt - I don't want a sac of these.

She's tiny, too.

sub-adult female Menemerus bivittatus- a tough spider to macro without chilling.

 

[Silberrücken]

Beautiful!

One of my new Holconia immanis slings (I think it's an L2) eating a Drosophila grub. Watch in HD.

Wow, I just looked at all twenty-two pages for the first time in the last couple days and man, this thread is amazing! I enjoyed looking at all of them. Keep it up guys!

Eustala anastera sling.







This tiny baby was a MASTER at camo... I always had to use a magnifying glass to find her during the day.

Florinda coccinea

Very old & horrible pics of a very tiny
Black-tailed Red Sheetweaver.







These spiders make a flat, horizontal web just above grass. Then
above this web are strung several 'stop' threads of silk. A flying insect
will hit these lines, falling into the flat web
below... where a hungry spider patiently waits.
