Just double checking, mostly for the wife as she wants to kill any and all saying they’re “the bad ones”

Hello, I wonder what kind of spider that is and if it can be harmful or she's a cute lil inoffensive one.

Stomped on this little guy (so sorry ) thinking is something else, need help making sure this isn't what I think it is.

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

Had a HUGE egg sack underneath 😭

I got this Tarantula up in Tacoma Washington about 2 ish months ago. When I got it its feet were mostly all slightly damaged which I didn’t notice when buying so I payed the $100 and didn’t get an identification on which Poecilotheria it is. Can anyone help identify which type it is. Sorry if the pictures aren’t the greatest

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.

This spider built a cobweb in a spot where there are a lot of flies and mosquitoes.

You cannot see it very well but it has a pattern in its butt. (Sorry I dont know much about spider terminology)

Also, can you feed it flies?

Thanks

I found it in my bathtub, and Its in MN

Is this a baby brown recluse spider? Found it crawling in my bed in the middle of the night 😫😖

If it were spread out, it would probably be about the size of my thumbnail. I’d prefer to just leave it be if it isn’t harmful. Thanks!

We have 3 of these recently, probably 3in diameter in the last month. All in different rooms. Is it dangerous? Young child and a very nervous pregnant wife I home. Locates in South Florida.

Found around the area of PUUR Exloo in the Netherlands. 📍

It had these puppy eyes and It wasnt that big... I assumed it was a nursery web Spider but it missed its patterns. Could it be a house Spider? The abdomen really confuses me. I also cant find it in a insect book.

Should I be scared of this

This is on an external stairwell in northern Colorado taken today (8/16/26) on a warmer wet day, about 3 days after the stairwell was power washed. Reverse image search says it’s a male black widow, thoughts?
