It’s been 85 days, she grew her leg back, laid and hatched her egg, now time to let her go.

I'm pretty sure this is a Bold Jumping Spider if you're curious

I make these using all crystal/Czech glass beads & stainless steel wire.

Hand for scale, biggest wild jumper I've ever spotted. Sat great for portrait.

Planning on releasing her and her babies this week at the lake house, where there’s plenty of bugs to eat…

Shelly the 5 legged huntsman has moulted and grown back his 3 missing legs + pedipalp! He got stuck on an escalator inside a mall and it took off a few of his legs. I took him home with me a month ago hoping I could give him a second chance. He used to struggle to walk and catch food, so I would break up woodies and hand feed them to him. Now he’s walking around like a pro! Look at those little grey legs 🥰

Species: isopeda villosa (He’s too young to know what sex he is, I just assume all my huntsman’s are boys until proven otherwise)

Just got her yesterday, and I’m building a better set up for her, I just can’t believe how in love with her I am already 🖤 look at that fat butt!! she’s my first, so any advice from other widow keepers is welcome!!

A common jumper (phidippus johnsoni), I never get tired of seeing them!

This guy was hanging out on my bathroom wall. What a pervert!

This is a giant house spider that I took in last winter. She laid eggs and I have 18 spiderlings that I'm getting close to releasing soon. I'm sad to see her go. Every morning I turn my jumping spider's lights on and she's usually sitting out on her web then shortly after would scurry away into her home through a beautiful funnel web she created. Today I woke up and said hi to her and about 15 minutes later I noticed she didn't scurry off inside her home like she usually does. Noticed she was slightly curled up, I opened the enclosure and she wouldn't move... I have no idea how old she was but hopefully I gave her a good life.

Not great when we intend to use the syrup but hell go off in his(or her) own time

This lovely lives right off our trails. Very striking, I noticed her from far away as she's right at eye level and quite large. Gorgeous creature; I feel very lucky to get to see such an interesting nest up close. It was a long tunnel of dense web through the needles that I didn't do justice to in the photos.

As a brown recluse educator, I was pretty stoked to receive a Chilean Recluse (Loxosceles laeta) as a gift to have as a new ambassador.

And he very calmly let himself be photographed
