Almost wiped with a spider😭

I’d like to know what kind of spider this is it’s on toilet paper and I almost wiped with it😭😭😭. A few family members think it may be a brown recluse but this is the best photo I have so hopefully it can be IDed. I live in more rural Missouri.

Detroit Michigan, US? About the size of a US Quarter Coin, maybe a little bigger.

Sorry for the low quality photo. The first one is just a zoomed in screenshot of the second, as reddit upload poor quality photo. I would have gotten closer except that I fear spiders. I know its not one of the two main spiders i should be worried about living in the US (Black Widows and Brown Recluse) but still.

Is this a black widow?

Central New Mexico, USA. This spider has been living in the garden for quite a while and I always assumed she was a black widow… Today she’s right by the door handle and I got a closer look. Is it really a black widow?

Little dude webbing up my deck. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

I have no love for spiders, but this dude's pretty cool. Just wanted to see if anybody knew what he was. I'm guessing he's some type of Orb Weaver? After walking face first into several webs drawn across the stairs on my deck, I finally caught the little bugger in my kids' magnifying bug box lol. I don't wanna kill him, where is the best place for me to release him? Grass? Trees? Shrubs? Leaf litter? TYIA!

Edit: He spent a couple hours in the box with a moist paper towel and some sticks until I could watch my wife recoil in disgust when she got home. Mission very well accomplished. Little dude was released at the far back of my yard into the shady trees. I even got the arms up combat pose as a goodbye lol. May you kill many pesky bugs my friend.

Holy guacamole Jesus!

Don't even tell me it's harmless. I won't believe you. You don't go walking around looking like an axe murderer but really you are just "mis understood"

No sir. My chickens didn't even want smoke. What is this.

I'm in mid Michigan. It's the beginning. Of the middle of the end of. I think it's August.

I found a spider(?) with 6 legs, did he lose a couple or is that just how this spider is?

What kind of spider is this? It doesn’t even look like there’s enough space for another set of legs

I picked him up with a piece of paper towel and he crawled away quickly so I couldn’t get any better photos

Edit: forgot to mention, location is ON, Canada

Ireland, galway rural town, large spider scared me witless for a minute

Really big for ireland, i could feel its weight in the paper bag a little. County galway, Extremely warm humid (77% midday friday) weather recently, big temperature drop in the evening so i think it came in through my open window

i got them safely out the window by tipping the paper back upside down, so i hope its alright

Everyone's favorite question

Is this a brown recluse? Louisville, Kentucky

It was up on the ceiling, so I couldn't get close enough to see the eyes or get clear pictures.

Is this a male Zoropsis spinimana? (California Bay Area)

Is this a male Z spinimana?

Been getting better at IDing these guys as they become more common to my region (they’re also the largest spider species I’ve ever seen around/in my house, they’re hard to NOT notice) but I just want to get some confirmation/clarification if I’m getting the species wrong.

This dude was found in a clutter pile in bathroom, placed in old cup temporarily for photo shoot then let outside. He reared up and froze in a threat display in the cup I put him in- never seen a non-tarantula spider do that before! Whatever the species, looks like dude is ready for mating and probably wandering around looking for ladies.

Who is this? Found in Orange County, CA

My wife found this dude in our daughter’s nursery. Said he was hairy and big lol. Would love help identifying him/her!

Northern Indiana. Had a massive web a couple days ago but just now seen the actual spider.

What is he/she? Very unique colors. Sorry the angle was weird and my camera is pretty bad but this is the best I could get

Trying to identify this spider? (DFW, TX)

Hello, I've seen a few of these tiny tiny spiders roaming around baseboards and a few up on random walls. I spotted one or two coming from outside at one point during the day. Just curious what these are?

I see a bit of what looks like a fiddle marking but my initial reaction was that it wasn't a brown recluse but I'm no expert, but the fiddle look had me somewhat concerned. They're extremely small and dont remind me of larger brown recluses I've seen in my life. The last picture looks like one? But its not a great photo. The first few are with a flash light shining on it.

Figured I'd ask as I'm more curious than anything.

Thanks for your help!
