  1. CW: Spider, being a spider

    Heyo friends, I met a #spider!

    At one point I brought the camera too close and alarmed the poor thing, but it chilled out again after I backed off. Wild to me how spikey their legs are.

  2. This absolute unit had set up shop right above the back door, I included the recessed ceiling light for scale (the photo still doesn't do it justice, the light is smaller than the spider 😭😭😭)

    My husband managed to safely remove it and release it in the backyard in a spot where there should be plenty to eat. I'll bet this guy eats mice. 😩

  3. Note to self: when you think you’ve dropped your pen between two lounge chairs and a quick look shows something dark in the shadows, do NOT reach your hand down there to pick it up!

    Fortunately for my nerves it was a dead huntsman, but it was a major creep out nonetheless. Could have been worse, right? We’ve had funnelwebs in the house before. #arachnids #arachnophobia #spiders #straya #australia

  4. #DailySpiderPic: a mature male pirate spider (family Mimetidae, compare to _Mimetus puritanus_). I got a nice shot of one of the pedipalps!

    They might look like cobweb spiders at first glance, but the very spiky legs are distinctive.

  5. CW: tiny cryptic spider on sedge flowers

    I thought I was just photographing the flowers on this beautiful native #sedge that has self sown in the rock garden.. they have rather complicated flower structures, so I didn't realise there was something extra! I had to look at it for a bit on the computer screen to decide it is a #spider right?
    posting this one to iNat too..

  7. A bit of #OpenAccess #Arachnews:

    How do forested buffers around rivers affect the diet of predators like trout and spiders? In the abundant fall season, both get most of their food from terrestrial sources! I'm not sure exactly what this means because ecology is really hard so read the paper yourself: sciencedirect.com/science/arti :OpenAccess:

    Two new species of eyeless, cave-dwelling pholcids described. One is from Australia's ancient Pilbara, a remnant from before Australia aridified. Another is from lava tubes on Réunion Island. Plus some philosophical questions about what a cave is, really. subtbiol.pensoft.net/article/1 :OpenAccess:

  8. This a crab spider (family Thomisidae) of some sort. My experience with this is the members of this family hang out near flowers and nab pollinators when they land.

  10. However, I was *really* there to catch some rays with the wolf spiders. This _Pardosa lapidicina_ had such a comfortable sploot going on that she didn't even mind me taking up-close photos. There's no sploot like the P. lap sploot.

  11. @apsciencedan it kills me that your brilliant photos aren't getting massive circulation here, have you tried hashtagging the hell out of them? I'm told that's the thing to do! (My hashtag-fu is lame) #arachnids #nature #NaturePhotography #cuteness #wildlife #spood
