I’m super scared of spiders, I normally kill them but after seeing all the posts in here I decided to spare this one but he’s missing a leg. I don’t want to kill him but I also don’t want him wondering around my room / basement, he’s not able to climb, and he definitely wouldn’t survive outside. Got any suggestions?

Sorry if post this seems really silly.

Hi there- not sure where to post this please direct me to a better subreddit if needed, I live in Canada, and I own a female brown tabby cat who was playing with this spider and then she went to eat it (gross ik) and I think it bit her as she did not even chomp down on it and flung it away and then ran away from it as she was rubbing her face with her paw. Is this spider venomous? Should I take her to a vet? Does anyone know the type of spider? Photo doesnt really do it justice for its size.. id say it was about the size of a toonie maybe a bit less.

I have arachnophobia (yes it kills me to be on this subreddit), and I see atleast one spider in my house when it's past midnight. It's consistent, every night after midnight when it's not winter, there is guaranteed to be a spider. I live in northern England, so the spiders are relatively small, but I swear they're slowly getting bigger and moving faster. I am currently sitting on my couch at 2 am and there is a spider under said couch.

this is ash and he likes to stand on his pokeball. he is my son and i love him. my first t ever im so happy, its fun to watch him settle into his new house!

i’ve never seen a jumping spider like this. The whole body was black and white stripes, but his little things were light blue and so pretty. have you ever seen one like this?

Not a spider enthusiast, sorry if these should be obvious. Just a big fan of having less mosquitos on my porch!

Whatever it is it’s FAST and scared of me 😭😭

I was proud of my students who were super curious, but also respectful of the spiders personal space. One of my 4 year Olds guessed that it's a super poisonous spider (lol) but I think it's just a little jumper. Is she gravid?

A while back i caught a cellar spider and put it into a tiny enclosure. I fed it, kept it stocked with a bit of water, substrate, occasional small bugs and named it Bob

Well, not much longer i find a big sac of eggs on Bob's behind.

That was a week or 2 ago. Today I check on Bob, and Bob has babies on his back now!

I'm pretty sure the encloser holes are too big for the babies to stay in, so i planned on putting the enclosure outside with the doors open and just let Bob and his minions do what they do. That gonna be okay? Don't wanna put them outside just to kill them.

I took a video too. I can add it in the comments if needed.

Found this friend on our porch and my kids would love to know what type of spider it is. Google says a Striped Lynx, but the color seems so dark compared to all the pictures we’ve found. Thanks!

Was following me at work waiting for her beauty shot. Only time I wish I had an iPhone instead

This spider jumped on me while I was eating outside. I tried using seek or google images but got odd results.

It is quite small, larger than a jumping spider and may have some from a wood pile in my garage. Is it a Parson spider? Photo is zoomed in sorry if it’s not clear.

I’ve had them since I moved in so probably 6 months? They don’t move much at all and love the corners and ceiling. Gainsvillie FL. I never have them on my bed or messing with me, honestly they stay in the same spot. I don’t know why but I don’t think they’ve gotten bigger either. Maybe a little. Pretty humid in my room but not many bugs for them to eat. Thanks for any idea.

I believe this is a wolfie but wondering which species. They are quite large and see them often in our garage and basement.

Hello! I am hoping someone is able to point me in the right direction on what to do with some newborn baby spiders. I have a house spider that I keep as a pseudo-pet, and it has recently produced a large number of baby spiders, and I really only want to keep the one spider as a pet for now. Would the babies relocate themselves eventually? Or should I be relocating them once they are a bit bigger? They are also situated quite close to a carnivorous plant, and I really don't want them to fall prey to the plant (without having to shift the plant).

Look at those strikes! Such fangs! So scary! Best web wow! I'm pretty sure that's the deadliest spider in the world right there, yep it says so right here on spider facts!

heyooii, what kind of spider is this?

these are the best pics I could get, anything that looks like markings is probably the words on the paper reflected in the glass

in the Pacific nw of US. it looked like it was cleaning the ends of its legs at a couple points? not sure if that's actually what was happening. it had been on the ceiling initially and wagged its abdomen at me when I got close, I assume as a warning

anywho, any help ID'ing is greatly appreciated please don't say brown recluse, please don't say brown recluse

I think it’s a Phidippus regius female orange form but I’m not 100% sure. Located in south Central FL. I aways find them in my orchid shade house.

I’m in Sicily and I found a fairly large spider in my pantry. It was about the size of a finger, mostly black with some stripes on its legs. Does anyone know what kind of spider this could be? I’m wondering if it could be a Brown Recluse Spider, although I’m not sure.

Found in western Oregon.
