r/spiders

Location: Southern Illinois (no shortage of these guys around here)

Fairly sure it's a recluse, but just curious if my ID is correct. Found him while looking through a pile of wood scraps. When I flipped it over I watched the last couple seconds of it coming out of its molt. The color is throwing me off and I'm curious if the greyish color is just because of the fresh molt.

Those hairy little legs when zoomed on cracks me up as well haha.

Hogna radiata

ID? these live in my garden.

This lovely friend lives outside the door to our backyard, there were a few bugs moving around in its web and I managed to catch it on video emerging!

Help I’m terrified. Please don’t laugh.

by this spider-I’m on the shore in Connecticut in old Saybrook and was outside eating lunch with my family when I got a searing pain from the bite from the spider. I can’t identify it, I’ve gone to the emergency walk-in in town and they told me to just monitor for symptoms, but can anyone help me identify this? The pain is definitely less than it was when I initially got bitten about an hour ago and the swelling has gone down a bit, but it’s still quite painful and searing the spider itself is a glossy black/brown and very small

Illustrated rendition because I didn’t have my phone on me at the time. Sorry 😭

Gave me quite the jump scare, I’ve never seen a spider like this before. Located in Midwest USA.

This is the biggest one I’ve seen. I wish I didn’t witness the Monarch snack, but it’s gorgeous nonetheless.

Had a HUGE egg sack underneath 😭

Cellar spider, I think? I was bitten by a spider when I was little, and it was a pretty bad bite, so they make me very jumpy. But this sub and their passion and knowledge have taught me that most spiders are harmless and not out to cause trouble.

Thanks, guys!

One of the largest spiders I have seen in my whole life in Florida jump scared me on the toilet at 4 am before work.

Need help identifying if this spider is a boy or girl and would like to confirm it is a grass spider. His/her name is tree and we’ve had the best time watching tree over the summer.

Saw this cute guy wandering and legit thought it was an ant at first but then it stop to throw it back like it was in the club circa 2004 and I noticed all the legs. It didn't sit still long enough to get a great picture. (Birmingham AL)
