Got two reviews this season mentioning spiders in the bedroom, which is rough since everything else about the place gets good feedback. Property is out in a rural area so some amount of bugs is unavoidable, but I'd like to cut down on it without spraying something with a strong chemical smell right before guests arrive.

Did you know you’re sharing your bed with thousands of tiny arachnids? 🧹 

Quinten Geldhof, also known as Microhobbyist, shows how a single spider can produce up to seven different types of silk, each with its own job. Sturdy dragline silk builds the web’s frame, while sticky blobs of silk set the trap for prey. Pound for pound, it’s up to five times stronger than steel, and a strand long enough to circle the Earth would weigh just 4.4 pounds! What would you use spider silk for?

Chico CA caught this male cellar spider sitting right next to my mouthwash in my bathroom with my toothpaste & tooth brush is Spood asking me to share my hygiene as his room mate?

There are lots of cobweb spiders under this cornhole board but most of them are super small and I’ve seen them around, they make egg sacks much smaller than this. These are huge, even compared to larger spiders like black widows. I used an AirPod to compare. The two pictures of the spiders are of the smaller spider and her egg sacks which are a fraction of the size

I wasn't able to get a picture of it, but it had a red, white and black body, and was found in a pile of decaying pine branches. I'm in southern Canada if it helps.

My cat got bit tonight. I want to confirm that it's just a cobweb spider/false widow?

The instigator went under something he wasn't supposed to on our patio and likes to play with and eat spiders. So he broke into her home and crippled her, definitely self defense. But he actually acted hurt this time, unlike the time he got bit by a poor jumping spider and was unphased and kept trying to eat him (I saved him and he actually survived unharmed when he came out of shock! He also was grateful and nice to me, surprising after such trauma and horror.) He acted scared after, which he's never been afraid of any bug even when fighting back or biting. So I just wanted to make sure it's not something worse and something to watch for before I go to bed. It's already 10pm so I'd like to avoid a visit to the emergency vet lol but also this little asshole is my whole world so I don't want to risk him having a reaction while I sleep

My mom recently found a few of these by her headboard, any ideas? I thought maybe cellar spider but not sure

It used to chill on the ceiling for quite a while but today I found it death curling on the floor. It's a Cheiracanthium mildei, I believe.

This is the third one I’ve seen in a week! I think it’s a non-venomous wolf spider? I have a toddler who really likes spiders so I want to get a second opinion. Western North Carolina, USA.

Never seen these ones in the house before. Maybe a bit bigger than a quarter.

Recently acquired this (ethically sourced) specimen and I am very curious to know specifically what species it is. The label states "Cyriopagopus sp." so unless the label is wildly wrong, this specimen is from Southeast Asia, from Myanmar to the Philippines, which is unfortunately about as accurate of a geographical location as I have due to it being a preserved specimen. I've looked through different species in Cyriopagopus but I'm not sure which it could be for certain. Several images attached, including one with a quarter for scale.

Edit: TY to tbugsbabe for the ID, it’s a harmless Ebo running crab spider (Philodromidae)

I am working on a treaty to share the closet space so there are no more early morning scary surprises.

Oklahoma City, USA, crawled out from inside the folded clothes in my closet 🙃

I've seen 2 this week.

Trying to decide how much PPE I need before I deep clean the closet to look for more.

Thanks!

Zoom in closely, it seems to have a human face

It's kind of cute how small she made herself here. No, she's not a pet, she just moved in and decided to stay here.

She's much lighter than when my old cat used to sleep on my lap while I worked, at least!

Some people are scared of spiders, but this little one just wants to say hello, one tiny leap at a time. They're growing so fast, and honestly? I'm just the landing pad 💛

Which one is your favorite?

Can anybody identify this one please? He said it was roughly 10cm across.

Google lens says flat rock spider, but I don't think they are native here ?

Saw this spider in front of my house and again in front of my place of work. Spun a HUGE web and then seemed to disappear the next day.
