Seen this around midnight tonight a little closer than I’d like literally feet away from my front door. Just thought I’d share. actually, if anyone has any recommendations on pesticides to deter such visitors for around the house I’m I’m open for suggestions preferably something natural

Ho trovato questo ragno fuori da casa mia, sono nella provincia di Bergamo, in pianura padana. È bello grosso, avrà un corpo lungo circa 2 cm, purtroppo è la miglior foto che sono riuscito a fare

From a quick read online, I believe that I witnessed it creating its new evening time web. I have some short videos of it too. I thought it was really cool to see. I've always been afraid of spiders, but I've been learning more about them and finding a new appreciation for them over the last year or so.

Help

i got this matte black dwarf scorpion for my boyfriend from the spider shop on the 25th august. i've been looking after it until now and it was completely fine last night. he was active and moving around the small container he is in. when i brought him to my boyfriends house today, he is completely motionless and seems dead. however, when we poke him, his tail sways very slightly and slowly. we also saw him do it with zero provocation from us. can someone help us???

I know they're related to spiders, and some spiders, like the Portia jumping spider, are really smart, so I was wondering if dust mites were smart too.

The only evidence suggesting dust mites are smart is one Quora post saying they demonstrate some smart behaviors if you run some experiments, but it's for premium members only and I really don't want to give quora money

I want to know, because if they are smart in any kind of way, I might try to find ways of dusting that aren't as dangerous or deadly to them

I don't know how people would go about finding this out, and I know intelligence is kind of a complicated thing to define, but I don't like killing bugs if I don't have to

What spider is he and is he dangerous?

My dog is trying to eat it too so its worse

Was picking at zits on my back, felt what I thought was one. Started picking and felt it “pop”. Got it on my thumb nail and was real perplexed how a zit could be such a dark color. Thought I’d squish it between my thumb nails and see what was inside, ingrown hair or something. Pop goes the zit, it’s got legs! Mazel Tov!

It’s not my first rodeo with a tick, and I went poking around a state park today before mowing the lawn, so I wasn’t much surprised.

What’s odd though is that while it felt like it had latched, and there is a clear bump from irritation on the my shoulder, the head was in tact which seems odd if I scraped it off with a (very short from biting) thumb nail. Add to that it didn’t seem to have grown at all (I used a butane torch to make sure it was dead. Because of the heat, it puffed up. I’ve got a lot of animals, not taking any chances)

What is also throwing me off, I took a shower after I mowed, hours ago at this point. Not only would you think there would be noticeable grown from feeding after a few hours, but I scrubbed vigorously right where it was, at times with bare hands… you’d think I’d feel it or it would have broke off. Add to that I had scraped that part of my shoulder multiple times tonight doing the same thing, and not once did I feel it… which, it can’t be more than a larva, so maybe it was just well hidden.

Lastly, I can’t tell worth a damn what it is. I can ID a lone star tick no problem, and I’ve seen the occasional Dog Tick, but the striping and black tipped legs are throwing me for quite a loop, one I can’t seem to solve.

Wondering If these white specs are eggs? I’m not sure what kind of spider it is but i find it interesting they’re spread out and not all together in one place

I currently use half peat moss and half organic topsoil but it doesn’t hold humidity very well

What type is it?

pls :(

The hourglass is what’s tripping me up. Saw this beauty outside of my work today. The web was neat and seemed like that of an orb weaver but I’m not sure

I have a spider outside my door that I think might be an orbweaver but just would like to know if there is a specific type. She has a huge web and such amazing colors. Virginia based if that helps

Trentino, North of Italy, I don't really know anything about spiders and whether this one is venomous or not and I'm a bit worried it could harm my cats, thanks for the help. Sorry for the not ideal quality photo, it was moving and it was the best I got.
