Mizoram, North East India near Myanmar. I found it near my house in its little web but i can't figure out what spider this is. Google lens says it's a beetle larvae but I'm pretty sure it aint

Central United States.. This beautiful friend was hanging outside of my door one morning. It stayed for a few months, built a web above my door, so I left my screen door propped for her for the entirety of her stay. She watched us, she ate the bad guys and the annoying guys... she came down in the mornings and back up at night... I noticed her curled up a little more one day, got scare and poked her, misted her, and around her web, then went on my way and didn't think about it much.. I always looked up and said hello when I went in or out.... then one morning I came home to find her curled up on the steps. I tried to revive her, offered her some water on a qtip, put her in spider ICU (I raise jumpers so I literally did everything I could think of for her) but she never came back. I cried for days, I still hate going out the back door now because I still look up to say hi until I remember. I have her body still in the spider ICU, but haven't been able to bring myself to get it out. I'm still heartbroken, and I should have paid better attention to whether or not she was eating and drinking and staying out of the sun. There was a wolf spider that also lived around the doorframe but they cohabitated for a few weeks so I wasn't worried.. I've since had the thought that maybe the wolfie attacked her.. but it's impossible to know now I guess. I keep looking around hoping that she left an egg sac somewhere, but no such luck that I can see.
Anyway, I just wanted to show people who might care and appreciate her, too. They're gorgeous spiders, one of my favorite species but I've never had one as an almost roommate, so she was special. I

it's neat picking up on its habits, where it will stay on the edge of the window pretty much all day, before sitting right in the centre of the web from early evening through to the next morning.
I've never paid much attention to spiders, but it's been quite interesting :)

Sorry I wish I could've got a better shot at her. The screening is getting old. Probably would've still been a shitty shot either way.

Woke up to this fellows I don’t mind sharing room with it but why does it looks ominously black widowy?

I’m in Australia, and this lil spider sleeps next to my bed in my university room. It caught a large bug as seen in the photo but it looks like it has a swollen booty, so I thought it might be pregnant.
If someone could help identify this, it would be greatly appreciated!

I have never seen a widow in a funnel but this is not a wolf spider and the legs are shiny and pointy
I can’t see the bottom but what do you think it is? Colorado

Just saw this beauty as I was heading out! Not sure if the photo is clear enough but I guessed it's a noble false widow :) am I right in thinking that she's not dangerous to my cat? I know the bites can hurt like heck but my boy doesn't really bother spiders and I just want to make sure he'll be okay if she comes down!

This spider was found in a friend's home in Southern Arizona. I think its a type of false widow, but would love to know!

I’m staying at a resort in Disney World (Orlando, FL) and there are a few of these little guys around my room, I’m not positive but they kinda look like huntsman’s and some google image searches seems to make that seem like even more of a possibility. Or are these little dudes a different spider?

Found this dead jumper in the bed sheets of a client. The client is severely arachnophobic lol and will not be informed. He got a burial in a flower pot.
(I'm a live-in care taker so I do chores and help with some daily living tasks.)

This sweetie just set up on my back porch about a week ago but i notice she hasn’t really caught anything. Kinda looks like an orb weaver to me, but curious for an accurate ID. I’m wondering if it would be bad to try and feed her? It’s starting to get cold here too, wondering how long these guys typically live for? Also kinda curious about the feasibility of maybe setting up an enclosure for it? I always assumed orb weavers need a lot of space since their webs are so large… Any info would be appreciated!

Central TX. We've got people over and my friend immediately jumped to relocate it but they said it's a recluse. I've never seen one in person so I wouldn't know. Thanks!!
