I think this must be a giant house spider, Eratigena atrica, a larger cousin of the common house spider, looking understandably disgruntled at being evicted (by order of the Mrs). 🌱🕸🕷

Here is an ant-mimicking spider from the Amazon rainforest. I was heading down a trail back to our boat and saw it and got a few shots. It's one of 3 observations of the species on @inaturalist.bsky.social

Xylethrus superbus is a fabulous species of orb weaving spider from the Amazon rainforest. While she looks a bit like a strawberry, eating her is not recommended. #Arachtober

An orangish colored dark fishing spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus) on a rock. They’re shot from the top down but sort of angled to be at them somewhat from the side. Their front legs are extended in front of them to the right of frame to show off the markings all over.

🧵🐙🌿 Happy #Arachtober - here's an amazing arachnid (this one was in Montana) often called a camel spider or wind scorpion. It's not a spider or a scorpion - it's in its own order, Solifugae. They don't produce venom or silk. They are super interesting. Want a closer look? Sure you do. First, all--
A macro photo of an arachnid called a camel spider or wind scorpion, seen from the side on orange desert sand. It has four pairs of long legs and a fifth pair of long, leg-like appendages at the front called pedipalps.
