Arent sac spiders...sac spiders and Anyphaenids ghost spiders?My Yellow Sac spider. Here they are called Ghost Spiders, and with good reason.
Look at the dark brown chelicerae of my spider. That alone should tell you what it is.Arent sac spiders...sac spiders and Anyphaenids ghost spiders?
I couldnt stand more than 1/4 second of the music and I really dont want to try to distinguish similar families from a somewhat blurry youtube video, if its a "yellow sac spider" then that common name almost always applies to Cheiracanthium sp.... If its an anyphaenid why call it a sac spider with the first sentence, and if its not one why call it a ghost spider? :?Look at the dark brown chelicerae of my spider. That alone should tell you what it is.

Well, excuse me... OK... Anyphaenidae is correct for Ghost Spiders. I intended to be a little sarcastic with the "here is my Yellow Sac... called Ghost Spiders blah blah" remark.
Thanks! will do! as of lately I haven't found anything sides the common grass spiders and common house spiders. But ill keep looking and hope to id
I haven't seen much yet this year either. NJ had a harsh winter, and spring is taking its time. Within the next 1-3 weeks that will begin to change though, so keep it up. Check out the walls outside your home that get a lot of sun during the day, because the jumping spiders are starting to emerge.
You need to move out to the desert. In no time you'll have Brown recluses (okay, the L. Deserti-whatchamacalit lol) black widows and their aunts and uncles, scorpion and tarantulas... oh and for good measure... I'm waiting to hunt some sun spiders and vinegaroons at a friends place of business when they're back from vacation. Lots of fun stuff here.... oh and the snakes...
I am. I found so far... A sort of aquatic beetle or toe biter I can't tell yet. It looks like a mix of em. I found a large house centipede. Which is currently in a container with no soil or anything just cause Iam doing more research on it. They seem pretty easy to care for as far I am reading. Lots of moisture. Foods: crickets work fine. Longevity:3-7yrs. Its in a critter keeper. lol
iam not a fan of desert. ;x I sorta like cool, and damp weather at most.You need to move out to the desert. In no time you'll have Brown recluses (okay, the L.

And in reference to the debate of the possibility of your little spider having a nasty bite or not... just don't give it a good-nite kiss and you should be fine
Edit: to my above comment really... if you don't know what it is, don't mess with it. Better to enjoy watching them in nature then risk getting hurt... even if it's minimal...
It is extremely likely that P. audax are in your area. I'd even go as far as to say that they definitely are. They are common but not abundant. I have found 5 P. audax (2 were together - a male and a female) in the past 2 years or so, and on only one of those occasions was I actually looking for one. I found one randomly on a fence in my yard and haven't seen another around the house since. Look at walls that get a lot of sun, as well as fences and leaves. You're basically looking for a little moving black blob. That said, the male and female I found together were under a rock. You'll see smaller jumping spiders as well. Last weekend I saw 4 very different small jumpers on the walls of my house. They're out there, you just need to look often, and get used to detecting the movement of small things.
A magnifying glass will fix that.
Could be. There are probably several hundred or more different species of spiders in NJ, if the numbers in nearby states are any indication. Look everywhere, especially in potential hiding places - cracks in fences, under boards and rocks, under bark, rolled up in leaves, on the side of your house, in your basement, in abandoned bird nests, in leaf litter, inside of garden ornaments, under the siding on the house, behind porch lights, under piles of stuff in the garage, etc. Spiders are more abundant than you may think. With a little practice you'll catch on to where they are.
Yes it has. But things are starting to come to life. As well as I would like to ask since you live in nj as well. Do you happen to know the laws of what you can catch and cannot catch in nj? Not just insects itself. Stuff like Insects(that includes arachnids--imo), reptiles, amphibians, fish, etc.
You're right. :]A magnifying glass will fix that.

LOL. Do you mean...that they won't be as small....or they won't be as boring? Because, ahem, I could think of a way to make small bugs fun with a magnifying glass....other than making them look larger.A magnifying glass will fix that.
Ahem...We want to promote keeping the little creatures alive and unharmed while we look at them on this board, Venom.LOL. Do you mean...that they won't be as small....or they won't be as boring?

lol... now that's funny.... hmmm, I mean, bad Vemon, BAD lol...LOL. Do you mean...that they won't be as small....or they won't be as boring? Because, ahem, I could think of a way to make small bugs fun with a magnifying glass....other than making them look larger.
Try posting this into a seperate thread. You may yield more answers than you currently may have.
