Jumping spiders always love my car. Even this big guy. Happy Hallowe'en! Arachtober 2025, Day 31, Hallowe'en. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54891920769/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Hallowe'en

Bathed in sunlight. An orb-weaver spider in the understory of a forest spreads her web where the sunlight streams through between bare branches. Her mate waits for her above. Arachtober 2025, Day 30. One day left. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54889657376/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Invertebrates #SpiderWebs #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

Just a baby. Really. A Giant House spider, not quite a giant yet. Out hunting on a wall; maybe she'll find a moth. Arachtober 2025, Day 29. Two days left! https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54887546741/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Invertebrates #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

Tougher than she looks. Cellar spiders always seem so fragile, with those long, spindly, translucent legs and their neat, shiny body, yet they regularly catch and eat spiders bigger and scarier-looking than themselves. Here's one with her latest meal.

I'd really appreciate feedback on this first video I've created with music using LMMS to accompany the original video also created in linux with microscope software ImageViewAlpha and video editor ShotCut. No special prizes for spotting spelling/typo mistake.

Camouflage fail. She's a ground crab spider, and should be lying in wait for her prey in the leaf litter outside, where she would become invisible. Not here, on the shiny aluminum trim of a vintage kitchen. Arachtober 2025, Day 27. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54881851722/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Invertebrates #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

Well fed. An Araneus diadematus spider in the centre of her web, where she's been catching midges and fireweed fluff. And she's got something bigger for this afternoon's snack. Arachtober 2025, Day 26. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54880258661/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Invertebrates #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

On duty. Giant House spider will keep out bookworms. (The multi-legged species; bipeds are ok.)

Proud mamma. Cellar spider holding her eggs. About 50 spiderlings on the way! Arachtober 2025, Day 24. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54876419935/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Invertebrates #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

Midnight prowler. She has good night vision; her eyes have a reflective layer, like a cat's. Arachtober 2025, Day 23. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54874203379/in/pool-arachtober/ #VancouverIsland #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Spiders #Arañas #Invertebrates #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

Doorkeeper. She stands guard at my front door, rebuilding her web after I walk through it. On duty 24/7.

I'm struggling to keep motivated. Feeling sad at Mum & Dad transitioning on to the humanly unknowable place. Dad in Dec 23 now Mum Sept 25 :( Kind of just floating around as the funeral looms this Thursday. After the tears I hope that I can find a way to continue to develop the hobbyist microscopy and work on adding music/audio vibes for observer enjoyment. PBWYA-David...

Many of them are very pretty.

I'm told this is a striped lynx spider.
