Turned on my bedside lamp this morning and I didn't even notice Lady Ophelia for about 15 minutes.
Look, she's large, but she doesn't move much, and I was out late singing and playing guitar at a bar. But it was still a bit odd to me that I somehow missed her at first.

What are my brown recluses doing?
It looks like the female is communicating with the male

This absolute unit I just relocated from my basement
If anyone wants to ID him, I live in Western North Carolina, United States. Definitely the biggest spider I've removed from indoors! He shook his butt before scampering off to do spider stuff.

How do you NOT be scared of spiders?
The only spider I've warmed up to so far are jumping spiders, so cute! I felt SO bad when I attempted to save one, but my mom took the cup and chucked it outside 💀 I just hope he or she lives. Not gonna lie I was still chickening out a great deal when it was in my bathroom. I wore gloves, and a long sleeved jacket before catching it.
Wolf spiders on the other hand give me goosebumps and chills up my spine when I see them. So how do you not be scared of them?? How do you genuinely start loving them?

Changed my Wolfie’s enclosure and now they’re always out
First pics are after the change and the last two pics are before / after enclosure. Also made it bioactive! Just wanted to share this cutie and always looking for tips to make the space more comfortable!

Hopefully these don't get compressed to hell, but this very gravid widow was hiding in a hose spigot and flew out like a cannonball when I turned the water on. She became my little model before I released her somewhere safe. I need a macro lens stat!

North Florida spider
I took this photo last night. I did a Tineye search that had zero results. I saw it again this morning, but it was a medium brown color. I'm wondering if it's a crab spider, but in the photos of those it doesn't show spikes on the legs like this one. I tried to describe it for a google search, but AI is REALLY bad at identifying animals. Any budding arachnologists out there?
