My rather large spider friend wishes you a belated Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 🕷️

Genus Tibellus (slender crab spiders)

Northern California, US

Help I adore them 😭😭

Hex is my bold jumping spider and the first little guy that is actually relatively chill with being On me.

10 years ago the idea that I would be happy to hold a spider would have sounded outrageous to me. Jumpers have done wonders for my arachnophobia and teaching me to love and find wonder in places many others do not. 🖤🖤

Last shot photographed with a Nikon D300 paired with the Sigma 105DG on a half stack of tubes, first two stacks are with a 28mm f3.5 Ai-S Nikkor reverse mounted.

Real plants are always best for you and for them. Artificial plants are always best when you don't have all the time necessary to care for real plants.

How has this tarantula spider pillow not sold out yet?! It's 60% off and I don't need another one but it's just wild to me (although I do know a lot of people have arachnophobia / same). Spider lovers, go get it. It didn't sell well so they probably won't bring spider things back next Halloween. 😞

This is Frank.

I love them so much.

They're such a cute baby that loves to hunt things that move.

I believe that they're a bold jumper (Phidippus audax), and they're in their 7th instar.

He has a cute temporary habitat until the Tarantula Cribs enclosures come in a few weeks. And yes, it's a bk icecream cup with holes poked into it. It works.

DIYed by yours truly from a stick, a fake stem, popsicle sticks, hot glue, some string, a few magnets, moss from outside, and some dollar store flare with the sunflowers. They love running around in it.

I got so stuck on what to draw for today’s prompt that I’m just going to come back to it. As a placeholder please accept (harder) daddy long legs. Sorry.

Oregon paradise jumping spider (Habronattus oregonensis) with some sort of prey, most likely another spider species. Northern California

The spood squad!

It has grown by one lol. Lots of molts have happened and so they’ve grown a lot.

Hex, Helena, Harley, Havoc, and newly welcomed Hallow!

Aphonopelma Hentzi.

Oklahoma Brown Tarantula

Based on my sweet Henrietta RIP

P. Otiosus (subadult male)

P. Regius (adult female)

Two Salticidae species from Florida that are known to cross breed in nature.  Regius are far more common, I used to find them everywhere.  Despite a lot of collecting, I very rarely came across P. Otiosus in the wild.  Both are quite large, colorful examples of jumping spider.
