  1. Garden arachnids from today:

    - _Leucauge venusta_ spiderling has set up near the mosquito bucket
    - male _Attulus fasciger_
    - couldn't quite ID this smallish, cryptic-patterned jumper, any ideas? (🌎 Toronto, Ontario)
    - bonus mite: pollen-eating _Balaustium_ have started to appear!

    Just snapped this evening. Seems like a good option for #MacroMonday.

  6. #BREAKING: my pet _Larinioides_ orbweaver is almost certainly a juvenile male! The palps are way too bulbous for a female's, I think.

    Anyway, here e is chowing down on eir fruit flies.

  7. Sorry to report that Charlotte has either abandoned her web, been eaten by a crow, or perhaps she tried to eat the wrong bug. I do wonder about that breezy day that littered her web with leaves. Maybe it proved to be too large of a cleanup job. In any case she has disappeared, so we took down the web.

    Her orb-weaving cousin Iggy, however, continues trying to build its web in the most inappropriate places, i.e., the front patio entrance.

    Here is Charlotte, at night, almost in silhouette and hanging upside-downish. I'll try to get another photo of the other side of her thorny carapace, one of these days. I believe she is an Araneus andrewsi. bugguide.net/node/view/

    We saw this gorgeous yellow garden spider (𝘈𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢) beside the frog pond out on the trails yesterday:

  10. Just arrived outside one of my windows. Hopefully we'll get to observe the art of weaving. #spiders #OrbWeavers #NaturePhotograhpy

  11. ‘Twas a pleasant day, just as nice as yesterday. While I was taking a photo of the evening primrose flowers, I was too excited to discover a teeny orchard orb weaver spider, and forgot about the flowers. 💎🕸️🕷️👀💚😂🌼

    It’s a #BugDay (#虫の日 mushi-no-hi) in Japan today, so it’s rather fitting!

  12. #DailySpiderPic: a _Larinioides_ orbweaver eating…another _Larinioides_ orbweaver.

    There are only a few midges out yet, and a hungry spider can't afford to be picky.

  14. This Marbled Orb Weaver spider descended on me from our dogwood tree. I didn’t get a chance to carve a pumpkin this year so this’ll have to do. #spider #orbweavers #marbledorbweaver #arachtober

  15. #Arachtober 25: this beautiful _Larinioides_' camouflage was so good that I was prying open a dead Queen Anne's Lace flower to see if there was a spider inside before I realized she was sitting on top of it, eating an aphid!

    You can see her markings better in the second pic.

  16. #Arachtober 18: I've been largely going through photos from earlier this year, but there are still spiders out and about! Here's a _Larinioides sclopetarius_ I saw today.

  17. This time of year down by the lake, the red pines with their thick needles are absolutely covered with missing-sector orbweavers (_Zygiella_). The needle-sprays are the perfect size for their modestly sized, taut orb webs and the bases of the needles are ideal shelter.

  18. In other news, it's orbweaver mating season. Always a drawn-out and tentative process. These are a _Larinioides_ couple, the larger female on the left, male on the right.

  19. #SpiderSunday: It's that time of year again. A pair of _Larinioides_ furrow orbweavers: female on the left, male suitor on the right.

  20. Cross Spider, Araneus diadematus Canon 400D EF 100 2.8 f/5 1/ 320 iso: 400 Celakovice-Jirina, Czech Republic 9/21/2010 #Arachnidae #Arachnids #spiders #orbweavers #Araneus #Macro #invertebrates #Invertebrates #Macro

  21. #DailySpiderPic: _Neoscona crucifera_ with the lights of traffic on the Gardiner/Lakeshore in the background.

    I rarely see spotted orbweavers (_Neoscona_) in my usual haunts so it's always a treat to find them.

  23. An interesting spotting. At a quick glance, you might think it's just a piece of bird dung. But it's actually a spider: a Lesser Bird-dropping Spider (Cyrtarachne bufo).

    Spotted on Coney Island, Singapore, on 9 Feb 2019.

  24. CW: Spiny Orbweaver spider shots and description

    A Spiny Orbweaver, possibly Gasteracantha diardi, spotted at Fraser's Hill, Malaysia, on 18 Nov, 2018.

    It was about the size of my thumb, measured from large spine to spine.
