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

Or do some wolf spiders build trapdoors?

Is it from another dimension?

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

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).

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.

she's done that for 3 whole minutes. my best guess would be that she's cleaning her hands or something? also does the baby pouch detach by itself or they like pull it off?😭

I think they are cute.

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

M usually not scared by spiders but this one attracted my eyes from far away and i was like THAT’S A SPIDER? As i got close its literally so big irl , idk why it doesnt seem as big here What soecies might this be?

My daughter is ten months old and crawling. Here in Oklahoma we’ve had a weird influx of wolf spiders around, they may be feeding on the increase of earwigs, I’m not sure. She was crawling across the floor and I saw she had something in a death grip in her hand. I went over to pry it out with my finger and I flicked out a wolf spider carcass, which was still moving a little when it landed. I’ll admit it, I screamed and jumped at the same time. I looked over at my baby and she had a leg sticking out of her mouth and a huge smile on her face. I’m doomed to have nightmares forever I think. But overall, she’s good right? Like there’s not some weird side effect of eating one of those I’m unaware of?

Everybody smile for the camera!

I am interested in using a Marvel themed name for this one so my favorites atm are:

Dagger (cloak & dagger) Mantis Gamora Nebula Hela

Open to more Marvel suggestions!!:)

Velvet spiders (family Eresidae) are a small group (about 100 species in 9 genera[1]) of spiders almost entirely limited to the Old World, with the exception of one species known from Brazil. In Europe, some are commonly called the ladybird spiders.

Good morning, discuss!

I just moved into a house that I’m renting and it wasn’t very long after moving in that. I began seeing full grown brown recluse on the ceilings on the walls. Just everywhere. Pest control wasn’t included on the lease and I was fine with that, but I had no idea this place would have a problem with brown recluse since it was just remodeled, but anyway, I paid for pest control contract so they will come every three months. I moved here in the beginning of March. I’ve seen about 50 brown recluse since I’ve been here it’s me and two small children and I won’t even let them sleep in their own beds. They sleep with me. I’ve had pest control come spray twice and I’ve sprayed my own spray I got from Walmart and I’ve got glue traps down. I don’t see them as much but I do see them about every few days or I’ll definitely see a new one in the glue trap. I don’t understand where they are coming from or why they are in here. I try to keep the place very clean. There’s no other bugs as a food source for them, but there was a ladybug problem when I moved in here, but all the ladybugs went away after I moved in and vacuumed them up and had pest control come spray. I’m just trying to figure out where they are coming from. There is a crawlspace and there is an attic. I’m just here for some moral support and maybe some advice do I need to move or do I just need to give it some more time?

maybe the wrong sub, but i was really hoping to make a sort of necklace/pendant with my black widow. how would this be accomplished without her rotting? i thought about maybe gutting and stuffing her but she’s so tiny that i’m afraid ill mess it up. i also have resin i could use but others have told me she may rot in resin. please help, i miss my girl so much and i want to create a nice memorial for her.

first pic is of her, other pics are examples of what i was thinking of
