Widow web or cobweb?

LOCATION: New Mexico (USA)

I found this potential web in my car. I was working on the car last weekend, so I have a hard time believing that this is just a cobweb that I didn't notice.

I found a black window on my trash can a couple hours before noticing this web. That widow was safely relocated, but if there's one my car, IDK what I'm gonna do. Maybe get a new car.

Found 3 of them on my patio in Dallas, Texas. Can any experts out there confirm the name of this species?

What is going on with this scorpion?

It looks like some kind of insect is attached to its back. The scorpion seems to be struggling and trying to get it off

What is this guy?

I've never seen a spider as large as this in the wild - that board he's standing on is 2" wide. I managed to trap him and take him outside safely. I'm near Greensboro, NC. Thanks for any help!

What species is this?

Sorry for the bad quality. I’ve found this spider inside a van in North Italy (Liguria).
I’ve tried googling orange spiders in Italy but couldn’t find anything.

Found spider in our kitchen in northern Germany

Hi, we were wondering if this spider hitch hiked in our fruits or If she's a local spider.

Should we release her or is she an invasive species?

Location: northern Germany

Is this a false black widow?

I live in Reno nevada and this little boy was hiding behind the fire extinguisher, runs away when it sees or hears anything. The only thing somewhat similar I have seen is this false black widow on the internet when looking it up. I’m sorry for the blurriness he was eating so I was finally able to get him to sit still long enough to take a photo. Added a photo of the steatoda grossa for reference. Anyone have an idea

What kind of spider is this?

Unable to determine what kind of spider this is and came to Reddit for answers. I’m in a southern state in the US. Anyone know? The little guy is super black and looks furry.
