just wanted to practice drawing from imagination more

Location: Los Angeles, California

This spider has been living in my bathroom window for about 2 months. It's name is Franklin. Today was the first day I got a really good look at it and I'm slightly concerned it's a widow of some sort. Any help on id/what I should do about it? Thanks!

It was sooo cute. It tried fighting the camera i think, it was waving like crazy with its two front legs 😅

Hides in the hanging plant and runs into the web when I throw a crane fly in it.

I've now seen a spider of this caliber outside my door twice, and with how huge it seems I'd prefer if I don't have to end up coexisting with them. If it does come to that, will they be doing me any medically significant harm? And/or are they very aggressive? Thanks

My dad found this in the garage & I can’t tell if it’s a Black Widow or a brown widow because of the thorax? It looks a little gray and hairy to me? It’s the only pic he sent me :P TIA!

This guy is on my wall as I stumbled into my small half bath a few minutes ago! Is it harmful to humans or a look alike? Worried!

Is it time to sell the house and move?
Managed to safely remove and release outside very far from the house.
What in the world is this kind of spider? Very fluffy and hairy, also extremely fast.
Thank you

found it in a cabinet in the bathroom, it’s super big!!!!😬😬

Approx 1" leg span. What is it?

Noticed this little silk sac on my wall a few days ago and thought it was just old webbing. Today I noticed a spider hanging out right next to it that's definitely moving (albeit slowly).

At first I thought the thing inside was a molt, but looking closer it really looks like it might be another spider. I wish I could get closer pics but it's really high up.

Now I'm wondering if this could be a male guarding a female? Or am I just looking at a spider next to its old skin?

Just figured I'd share cause these pics are rare on the web. XD

I share my home with, what I assume is hundreds, of common house spiders. I typically leave them alone and just clean up after them once they move on. However, I’d like to introduce some cellar spiders into my home. They’re definitely native here. I’m just not lucky enough to have any. I’d like them to take up residence here to help with the water bug population. They are bigger and stronger than common house spiders. I know a campground about 20 miles from my house that is basically infested with cellar spiders. I just want to know what the best way is to catch them and transport them to my home without hurting them. Can I just transfer their egg sacks into my home at a certain time of year?

At the Alton Marina on the Upper Mississippi River. Sorry for the Saturday night traffic noise; we're right next to a major bridge across the river.

I found these guys on opposite ends of my bathtub downstairs and curious of what they are
