Araneomorph (True Spider) Picture Thread

[Smokehound714]

You're welcome. I picked up the idea myself from one Michael J. Roberts, in the Collins field guide to Spiders of Britain and Northern Europe. I think along with nets etc., it's among the invert collector's vital tools!

well, i already knew of it, but for some reason i just didnt consider it. Many of the inverts i collect are too large for a pooter, haha.

Man, i'd have to breathe in really hard to get a geophilomorpha in the tube, haha

Can't stop looking at this girl, she's so beautiful. If she doesn't drop a sac soon, I'm going to start looking for a male for her.

Latrodectus hesperus

Latrodectus bishopi

Callobius severus, neat little spiders. Always hungry and packing an attitude.

 

[Smokehound714]

We have a callobius species in california that gets quite large.. they can reach 1" in BL alone.

Megahexura fulva a few days after molting;

I had almost lost her during the photo shoot.. fortunately for her, i was able to capture her.

Safely back in her web..

Agelenopsis aperta 4th instar sling;

Almost lost this one, too. Man these are fast.. I almost smashed it on accident because it tried to get past my hand, fortunately I sensed it in time, and the sling was unharmed.

PHEW!

Took one of the Sicarius sp. out for a photoshoot the other night.

Time to powerfeed these suckers and get 'em big.

Love the coloration on the Acanthogonatus! The serrations on the tarsi are very interesting. Can't say I've seen that before. And if I come across a female H. carolinensis I'll be sure to let you know!

Very jealous of your Cupiennius! I've been wanting one for a while now. You've got some really nice enclosure set up for them too!

 

[z32upgrader]

Some tiny female spider I found late at night. I put her in a tall deli cup until I could get her a smaller enclosure and she laid an egg sac by morning!

[Silberrücken]

Ischnothyreus peltifer

(sorry for bad pics, this spider was TINY)

 

[buddah4207]

Z32upgrader: What you have there looks very much like a female Dysdera crocata. Great little species, males have large impressive fangs.
