Syspira sp "desert hot-springs"

Oooooo... you can send her my way....

Gorgeous spider, indeed. Nice find!

 

[Lucidd]

Stunning Syspira!

Stunning Syspira!

Indeed. Hard to believe this is one of the most common spider genera in our deserts.. They're normally literally as common as yellow sac spiders, but cannot climb smooth surfaces like they can.

This is probably the most striking member of its genus, probably STILL not full-grown, yet. average size for adults is around 17mm

Wow! What a beautiful spider to find readily. I want to visit the desert someday!

Who needs pokies (as much as I love mine) when you have those? My room would be filled with them.

yeah I want more. These behave like wolf spiders and are good at jumping. I can get more, may sell them

She'll look even better with a full stomach

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Another Sicarius sp. molt today.

Juvenile Segestrina florentina:

 

[kontan]

Dang!
Just got back home to see my wolfie made a borrow and layed an eggsack. In case it's proven fertile I'm thinking of moving all of them to a bigger enclosure and try a communal setup. Do you think this will work or they will cannibalize like no tomorrow?

MM Philodromus dispar

phidippus audax..?

Pretty much a noob with ID'ing anything so i would love a confirmation of the assumed species here.

Looks like it. However there ARE a few species that are virtually identical to audax in every way, save for their emboli shape. I cannot remember any of their names, though. And none of them are on bugguide.

Found a nice female Dolomedes tenebrosus today .

 

[just1moreT]

Tigrosa espersa

Pic with sac and with sac emptied she is a solid 2-1/2 inch I say sevral hundred little ones

 

[Micrathena]

Found a nice female Dolomedes tenebrosus today .

How interesting. I see a photo of someone holding, say, a Dolomedes, and I think something along the lines of, "Holy sweet JAYSUS he's braver than me." And then I see a photo of someone holding a T (which I have done) and I think nothing of it. I think it's just that the trues are leggier. That's always gotten me.

I used to have the issue of being freaked out by certain true spiders, mainly Tegenaria sp. being that they're so common and often seen around the house when the MM start looking for females, large, very fast and leggy lol.

I got over it by catching a few and caring for them once you understand their behaviours they seem less freaky, only time you really see aggressive behaviour from them is when prey hits the web otherwise they're very skittish.

One of the best spiders to watch feed along with Amaurobius sp. if you're looking for a spider that hits prey hard I don't think there are many out there that will compare with them.

Short clip (5 seconds) of one of my Segestria sp. feeding (unsure if it's florentina or senoculata, leaning toward senoculata due to it's size and the fact it hasn't darkened and lost the abdominal pattern like florentina do).
