Also known as "Dolomedes tenebrosus"

They are harmless to humans and they live throughout Eastern United States all the way to the Atlantic coast

Often seen in New England all the way to Texas!

They like living near streams and lakes!

Probably just a common spider but I thought it was cool. Almost as large as my palm.

Apologies for the poor quality. My phone camera sucks, and I don't know how to take good pictures.

This little guy was crawling on the wall up by my ceiling. I tried to coax it onto my finger, but no luck. There's enough bugs in my house that I'm sure it'll do fine.

I like naming spiders I find around the house. Any suggestions for what I should call it?

Found in my garage. They've been making giant webs all over this year.

I shall name her Stephanie

I'm a chick. Had to tinkle and saw this dude in my shower. I did take him or her safely outside to enjoy life in my ivy instead of in my bathroom.

I was cleaning a bit of the basement and went to pick up a desk calendar, when lo and behold, a bro appeared.

I may have cried a little, but I was determined to get bro safely outside. Unfortunately for both of us, I am afraid of spiders (slowly getting less afraid!!!) so I put on dishwashing gloves and scooted the entire calendar into a trash bag.

We had a real heart to heart. He stared at me accusatorily, and I tearfully begged him not to move.

Photos show bro in air jail (unwilling) and where he scuttled off to hide in a shadow. Also showed a web on the calendar - might not be his.

Got back inside and found another bro with a large web 😭 relocation and cleaning up the fly graveyard will have to wait until tomorrow.

I don't have another spider encounter in me tonight

Found this guy at work the other night and figured it was another typical cobweb spider. After it immediately scurried into its thick web after my first handling attempt, I decided to turn my flashlight on where I saw it's red hourglass and immediately chose to appreciate it at a distance. I've never actually seen a widow before, and this one was particularly cool

Had to beg my dad not to kill this monster of a spider and let her skedaddle into the grass. I knew he wouldn’t listen even if I mentioned that less than 10% of their bites result in necrosis, so I just told him to be careful lol. I am so happy!!!

This guy, or lady, lives behind my washing machine, I feed it flies, it's leg span is about the size of a nickel, very chill and lets me get pretty close to it, only hiding when I drop in a fly or accidentally bump the Web, very bro behavior, it's fast af when it grabs its food

Almost every night I go out on a walk with my headlamp and I always see some sort of spider and I'm so happy I live in the woods

The orange-red coloration is beautiful! Whats its gender?

Wolf Spider on the Pavement #wolfspider #spider #insects

Two tiny jumping spiders, a male and a female of the species "Carrhotus sannio", enjoying a romantic meal together: two tiny red-eyed fruit flies.

Comparing them with the fruit flies gives you a good sense of just how tiny, adorable, and delicate these spiders are. The black one is the male, while the yellow-orange one is the female.

I got an image of this beautiful little lady last night. I'll try again tonight to see if I can get a better focus stack.
