I live in Wisconsin and found them on a banana from the gas station. "Rosy" banana from Costa Rica.

Edit: I've been digging and most of it is old videos. Most people are saying that they are the Wondering Spider or variety of. I've kept baby jumpers before, this shouldn't be to different. I'll let you know if I had to burn my house down or not.

These spiders make extremely strong and messy looking webs and are known for their painful bite.

Unfortunately I had to kill this one as they’re dangerous for children and my son is very curious about spiders.

Spider [OC]

Queensland, Australia

There where multiple of them not seen in the picture so the spider seems communal, I had seen up to 5 of them at one point

Couldn't get a clearer picture because it's been raining on and off and I didn't want to get my hands and phone near an unidentified spider

Tried googling but couldn't identify it

Edit: I'm also pretty sure it had caught an insect in this picture

I was open the window while in the tub (it's right above the tub) and this guy fell into the water. The way it drifted in there I actually thought it was just an exuviae, or at least already dead before it fell. I fished it out with a rag regardless and a few minutes later it started walking around again. Now it's hanging out in my bathroom.

It's a wolf spider Zoropsis spinimana, so not ideal to have indoors. But since it's currently freezing outside, I'll let it stay for now.

A female this time, pretty sure it's gravid. Probably the biggest one I've seen so far.

And yeah, I have a very shitty phone/camera. Sorry for that.

Leaned my car seat back and realized I had an unexpected visitor. I believe it's a familiar jumping spider. Not sure when or how it got in but there's not much to eat in here.

Our lunches are similar in that regard 🫥

Sorry for the heavy crop, I didn’t have much time to grab my phone.

Any ideas on what kind of spider this is? Main body is a little over 1cm long, location is US, northeast coast.

The UK’s largest breed of spiders, which can grow to the size of rats and hunts fish, are making a comeback in Britain.

From near-extinction in 2010 - when only a handful remained as their wetland homes were destroyed by humans - the number of fen raft spiders are now steadily increasing thanks to recent conservation efforts.

The spiders are set to have their best year on record at nature reserves ran by RSBP.

The conservation charity revealed that the most recent survey estimates the total number of female spiders to be up to 3,750 across 12 sites in Norfolk and Suffolk Broads alone.

The spider can spin a web as large as 25cm and can grow to the size of a man’s hand.

He now continues his search for love outside.

About 1cm. Spotted in Albany, on a rocky beach, but it could have traveled on my caravan from Greece to Albany.

When I moved my phone closer he (she?) tried to jump against it.

Ignore the dirty window lol. Had them in our house for over a week in that spot now, but this is the first time they turned around. I find the legs mesmerizing
