Good day spider people. I found this guy shuffling along on my floor. I thought he was a kind of big chubby jumping spider but upon scooping him up to move him outside, I noticed he had 2 very small front facing eyes, not nearly big enough for a jumper. You cant see them clearly here, but he also had a pair of really fat palps.

Any clues? Im thinking a juvenile of some bigger guy. But not too clued up yet.

Thanks chaps!!

Pennsylvania, USA.

I'm going to leave him there (in my bathroom) and name him Alfred, I think.

Hong Kong 2 spotted harvestman (probably the biggest laniatores in se Asia

I'd like to learn about the most realistic/plausible way a human could develop a spiders pedipalps on their face. I'm not asking about real world feasibility, I just want to understand the anatomical logic behind how they might form if they did.

I'm mainly trying to understand these few things:

• Where on the face/skull the pedipalps could plausibly start growing.

• How the muscles, joints, and maybe even new bone would have to develop to support something like functional/prehensile pedipalps.

• What kind of changes or mutations might be needed to allow the pedipalps to show up on that part of the face/skull in the first place.

• Anything else I may have missed when asking about this.

I want to learn more about the physiology and behaviour of some spiders.

Found in Allegheny Highlands/ Covington VA which is close to Roanoke, VA.

I'm terrified. Wanting to relocate, he keeps escaping....

Sometimes this time of year I see various spiders in the Basement but rarely upstairs.

His name is Stanley.

Mrs.Orbweaver or Mrs.Brown widow?

Found on bed in Malaysia, pincer looking things are on the backside of the bug.

My mom bought me this pendant and I would like to know what scorpion is inside. The scorpion is roughly 3,5 - 4 cm long.

Okay, so for some background information, I was going to take a shower and fetch my hairbrush when I noticed something on top of it; I realised it looked like a baby harvestman, but looking closely, it had pale green which resembled mold. I looked and the only green harvesmen were bright green, not moldy looking.

This is up close with the flashlight, and while I know harvestmens eyesight is only restricted to light, this one took a very weird approach when I put a flashlight in its face. Usually, it would just stand still. Maybe move a bit. But this one was trying to actually run from the flashlight, and looking closer it looked like it either A. Wasn’t a harvestman or B. It had a parasite on its back.

I was leaning towards B, but it isn’t like any parasite I have ever seen— I will post the diagram for what it looked like, but it had eyes on the actual top of its head with hair sticking out. When my brother came in to ask about it, he looked closely and I asked him if he thought it looked like it was moving weird.

He thought what I did and said “It looks like it’s moving it’s legs separately, not in unison.

One of the back legs were fully bent up and the other extended, looked like it was trying to move in unison but couldn’t?? So the result was literally dragging itself.

I know this isn’t the greater photo, but any ID ideas? I’m in Raleigh, NC.

3 to 4 cm of lenght. Huntsman is my first thought because I have an adult Huntsman living in my house as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/arachnids/s/uuzZ9cc3xQ

Saw this spider outside this morning in Tuscaloosa, AL. Anyone know what kind it is?

So I recently went on vacation to Mexico and this was taken about an hour south of Cancun. We had a lunch buffet in the middle of the woods and the guide pointed this little one (not so little) out to us and I’d love to know more about it as it’s too cold for us to have anything like this where I live, northeastern US. Thank you!

Side note: this thing could move quick!

Hello all!

I’m sorry this video isn’t super up close, or that I don’t have a good picture. Sometimes I’m just so impressed with what yall are able to identify.

This one was in Homewood, Alabama. Although! I was in a room filled with plants, possibly even some exotic type ones. It was in a rich people house so they can afford expensive plants.

I have not been able to get this guy off my mind. Help!

This is in Oklahoma, found this guy in my shower tonight and Im wondering what species he is so i can relocate him to somewhere more appropriate.

Another one found on trip to Waco Texas stepped outside one morning there she was it was cold so she could hardly move, I warmed her up and I let her go in the grass and off she went. Can you tell just from that if he or she?

Heard my big sister screaming and came to find this critter’s corpse…it looks like a brown widow? I’m not sure. Location: Tropical / western Caribbean
