hi, anyone has an idea of what kind of spiders are these?
thanks

i think these two might be the same kind



i think this is a pisaurid or a sparassid but i'm not completely sure, it's really really fast, can climb anything and it jumps :cool:




also, i don't think it's an adult cause i don't see an epigynum or bulbs

and this one is a very small one that looks like a theridid to me, but i don't really know (excuse the pictrues, my camera kind of sucks)

this red (or orange) marking is what caught my attention to this little one

well i can't say for the first one's but that last one with the orange on it's abdomen looks to me to be a Tetragnathid...possibly Leucauge venusta otherwise known as an Orchard Spider

Hope this helps:)

thanks for replying :)
it does look a lot like the orchard spider, but it hasn't built an orb web and it's really really tiny, i don't know if there's still the possibility that's an orchard spider

it's possible that's a baby or that it's a male...the males don't make the elaborate orb webs like the females do and they're very very small...but on the other hand if it's a baby it won't make the big web either so it could be one or the other...i wish i could get a better look at the pedipalps so i could tell you for sure...

also that first picture of the dark velvety looking spider...i suspect some member of the Kukulcania genus (crevace spiders) but i'm not 100% sure...here where i live in louisiana we have Kukucania hibernalis which looks alot like the one you have here...but there are some other genus that look very simillar so i can't be sure

sorry i couldn't be more specific:)

actually you helped a lot
i took a good look at the little one and it's built like half an orb web, i've had that spider for like 3 or 4 days and i hadn't seen the orb web until now and i think it's a baby because it doesn't look like a male at all, so it probably is the orchard spider :)
and also thanks for the info on the other one!
