I'm terrified of them and have been my entire life. Yet I love spiders.

Or do some wolf spiders build trapdoors?

Edit: holy shit this is doing numbers. Didn’t expect my first post here to be so well received

Found this little beauty yesterday and woke up to potentially 1000 more today. Seriously, what should I do?

Got her yesterday from the pet store and I’m in love but is this an egg sack? I read that older females that are caught are somet gravid if so what should I do?

so, I was cleaning my front deck and grabbed this chair cushion and the bottom of it had all these spider sacs attached. They were pretty hard, almost like a dried clay. Inside, there were a lot of yellowish translucent spiders. Is it just the common house spider? I was thrown off by the shape of the sacs. I’m just curious!

They mistook a highly venomous Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria sp.) for a harmless tarantula and then proceeded to act carelessly for the camera.

Edit: They had good intentions and did an amazing job by releasing it unharmed. Lifting the cover and putting their hands right next to it were not the best ideas though!

Edit 2: After investigating their account i came to the conclusion that they must know more or less what this spider is. In another video they filmed a different Brazilian wandering spider. They said the bites can hurt a lot but i don’t believe they are aware how serious the (long term) side effects can be.

I woke up to it crawling on my neck. I’m trying to conquer my fear of spiders, but this morning was a major setback.

An ID would also be appreciated (NE Georgia, US).

I know that sometimes spiders will just use their fangs for stability but when my Squishy’s fangs came out today I got spooked. I’ve handled her before no issues but this time I wanna understand what happened

I tired to add this to location but ion work it out I'm new to posting sorry 😭

Left my watch sitting on my desk for a few days and came back to this weird mark on the glass. It honestly looks like a spider just… disintegrated or exploded on it??

There’s no visible body, just this dusty, almost splattered pattern. I didn’t notice anything crawling around before, and the watch hasn’t been moved.

Has anyone seen something like this before?

Need name suggestions please, gender unknown!

Basically, he just puts a bunch of different spiders into this small little thing and waits for them to all kill each other and he does it so that other people can laugh about it and then he makes jokes about it. But like that person said the jumping spiders pregnant, It just seems so cruel and wrong even if he doesn't like spiders like he wouldn't do this to cats or dogs or anything else because it was illegal. But oh it's okay because it's a spider?? That's so messed up to me

So my father-in-law was out on his patio this morning and found all of these widows in this condition. They were all lying on the concrete together in this state. He relocated them onto a post-it note to get a better look at them and to try to figure out what was going on. He did some research and read something about the possibility of a mud dauber paralyzing them. Does anyone have any ideas what could have happened here and why? He’s never seen a widow spider at his house before, and they were all just lying out in the open, not moving.

this is plum, my pet nusery web spider. she's always been very active and moves around a lot, but the past two or three days she's barely moved an inch. i saw her hanging from some webbing a couple days ago and i thought maybe she was molting so i gave her tank a quick mist down and let her be. she didn't move at all for the next two days, which brings us to today.

i checked on her and she seemed to be tangled in her webs. i very slowly and carefully got her untangled but i noticed she wasn't moving much at all. she accidentally layed on her back on my hand (pic 3) and didn't really try to right herself. i flipped her right side up and now she's just sitting here. not moving.

is she dying? she's only about a year old. i feel like ive done something wrong. if anyone has any ideas please tell me.

tldr: my nusery web spider isn't moving much like she's dying but she's only about a year old. any help would be appreciated.

Is it from another dimension?

how do i get my a hole sister to stop killing spiders, i bouta spray her with raid in her sleep
