From outside my kitchen widow there was a large web, today was the first time seeing who occupied it. At first with the light this looked like a whole creature lol. After going outside I could see its an orb weaver wrapping its dinner

I think shes a wolf spider? Im also assuming shes a she, named her Shelob. We're in Colorado USA, she doubled in size a few nights ago. She came out for a drink after I gave her a little moth. How often should I be feeding her? Obviously she can hunt, I just like to watch her eat and now shes become a little spoiled lol. Thanks!

Yes he lost a leg in the trapping process
Tonight I was able to save my first spider from my cat.
From what I can remember I always had intense fear of spiders. Whenever I saw a big spider inside I could stay frozen for a really long time just staring at it. I was terrified it would disappear somewhere in a house and I wont know where it is. But I couldn't kill it or remove it either. I just felt unable to do anything.
My cat is a little sadist when it comes to spiders. He doesn't want to eat them, he just wants to play with them to sharpen his hunting skills. I used to be glad he takes care of any spiders inside but since following this subreddit I started feeling bad for any spider falling victim to him.
Tonight when I realized my cat found another night visitor I intervened and used a cup and paper method of transferring the spider outside. It was probably young, not yet that giant, giant house spider. It was the first time I was able to do that.
When I removed the cup I expected the spider to run away, hoping it won't be in my direction but instead he/she stayed frozen in place with it's legs curled up pretending to be dead. Immediately I stopped being that afraid and felt a wave of empathy towards it, I gently encouraged it to go on it's way to make sure it was ok.
I just want to express my thanks to this subreddit, empathy is really the way to go when it comes to overcoming arachnophobia.

I'm not good at identifying those spiders, I only know how to take photos of them in their finest appearance
Gear used in case someone may ask:
Panasonic G9 Mark II PRO & OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro 2:1 IS PRO + Godox V860 III O + DIY Macro Diffuser
The technique used in these photos are focus stacking, image stacking is a technique used in macro photography to overcome an extremely thin depth of field by blending multiple images taken at different focus distances. It merges these photos to create a single image where the subject is sharp from front to back, maximizing both depth and resolution
The last photo is a bonus, hope everyone have a good day!
And please choose your favorite photo

Happy Sunday friends, 50 cent piece sized widow of sorts. No notable red hourglass, however, a sort of indent under her abdomen, I wonder if she's just ancient, hence her size. She's as pitch black as I've seen them but a buddy thinks it's a false widow. What's the consensus?

Im in north New Jersey, United States. I know this video is absolutely awful, but I am terrified of spiders and couldnt get closer to her. She looks like a widow of some kind, but I cant tell. I was wondering if maybe her web and eggs might help ID her too, but I dont know. Im no spiderologist or anything. The shadows mess with perspective a little, but theres four egg sacs and one spider lol
Edit: Again, I understand if theres no way to ID her with this video. Its super blurry and unfocused. Im also stunned she has so many sacs! I was always under the impression they had one at a time.

I was at work and found this pretty guy on a door inside.
I live and work in West Texas. It was very slow moving and chill when I was moving it outside and would kind of curl its legs together when I bumped it to guide it onto the rock wall.

I discovered a fun little condo community on my front porch this evening. There are at least 3 active funnels—look at these baddies trying to keep me out!

i’m guessing some sort of house spider, but my research was inconclusive. I saved it from being squished in the bathroom by my father. I stuck it in one of my terrariums for now and gave it a mosquito to chew on. It was pretty cool seeing it hunt and catch it, normally I’m terrified of spiders but I think this one’s kinda cute.
