I'm willing to bet that at least some of these Latrodectus and Loxosceles were caught as unwanted guests

Is that actually blue around the eyes and mouthparts? Or is that just the lighting, either way it's beautiful

Yes it's blue.

 

[Duriana]

Yes it's blue.

Reminds me of a P. Audax's blue and green metallic sheen on their chelicerae. Beautiful spiders you got

[Richard McJimsey]

Whoa! Is that a drop of venom?

Venom/digestive fluids yes. She was not happy.

 

[Crone Returns]

Venom/digestive fluids yes. She was not happy.

I think her eyes are cool, but in a space alien way lol.

 

[Richard McJimsey]

I really love Sicariids eyes.

Cupiennius salei sling

 

[Crone Returns]

I really love Sicariids eyes.

Cupiennius salei sling

View attachment 245489

You should do a close up eye shot of every one of them. I like the Cupiennius genus. Just don't think I'm ready to have that for a first true spid. I think I'll stick to the wolf spids that are hanging around.
