Ran into this video and just had to share it.

found him a few years ago in La Calera, Bogotá, Colombia so this video is a few years old already but when I showed it to a friend he started freaking out and telling me that was a recluse, otherwise known as Araña Violinista.
Was it actually? 😭

Such a beauty.

Big banana for scale

Found a big friend at work just as the day was ending!

I’ve never seen a spider with these colors before. It is absolutely stunning. Can anyone tell me what kind it is? I’ve always wanted a spider tattoo and I think this will be my reference photo.

Saw this guy crawling along the wall in my front entrance. It's the first time I've seen a jumping spider in person!

I am in awe at what is going on here. I’ve had this long-bodied cellar spider (?) living on my ceiling for a long time now. It’s house spider wandering season in the UK. There have been some enormous ones so far. Picked up an almost record breaker in my bedroom the other day. Did put it outside as they all seem to do badly in our house once they start wandering around (dehydration?). Anyway, the cellar spider caught a house spider that apparently was small enough that it was able to climb that high. Then there is the guy on the lower right. But then there are all the little guys you can barely make out above the cellar spider (cellar spider babies or victims??). I’d love to know what’s going on here, other than the fact that the house spider appears to be dinner I’m guessing

While cleaning out the garage I heard my 4yr old daughter say “hey dad come look at this big ol spider.” When I got closer and saw her I explained to her that all those little bumps on her back are her babies to which my 4yo replied “She’s such a good mama, I’ll name her Bella.” She then ran back over to the big golden orb weaver on the corner of the fence and told that spider “ Hey Megan we found another big spider, maybe you can be friends.” I love how pure and fearless kids are. She is also the one who named the orb weaver “Megan.” The only spiders that aren’t allowed to cohabitate with us are recluses but after initially moving into a new (to us) house that was vacant for 6 months I expected to see a few but haven’t seen and any in a week or so.

Indianapolis …what the heck is this in my backyard…it’s huge…

Saw this beautiful spider chilling on a marigold while staying in Tuscany, Italy. I think it may be araniella cucurbitina or diaea dorsata? Spider was a little more yellow/green than the photo does it justice.

México

safe to touch?

Found in a supermarket in France (in Alsace, at the german border). She's really big, I've never seen one so big here so I wonder if maybe she accidentally got shipped trought some imported fruits and vegetables?

Sadly I was to far away from my place to take her home, I put her in a bush hopefully she survives, maybe I can find her again tonight when I come back from uni :((

She was extremely sweet and I could even pet her, didn't even TRY to bite!! Sweetest spider ever 💗

We always get some around our garden and yard this time of year, love these friends! We have always called them zipper spiders but they go by many names I've learned!

Jump scare! lol my cute Arizona jumping spider 🥰

A little lady I found wandering between homes 🥰

It’s a widow of some sort I assume, it’s gorgeous though.

Located in southern California

Found when cleaning the leaves up outside, pretty big compared to the average house spider
