I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but I always took these photos of spiders on the actual text - I never added the text afterwards. I love that Portia is actually gazing towards the #Arachtober greeting here! 🕷️

Hogna antelucana. I love wolf spider closeups. They have such cute faces.

If I ever do a solo black metal project, this will for sure be it's album cover. #arachtober

Slightly blurry close up of a bishop spider with the light shining on it is such a way as to make the cross pattern on the abdomen glow earily. There is the outline of a shed like structure in the distance. It all has a bit of a grim feel.

For the fifth of #arachtober, a Xysticus crab spider defending my basil plant like a little pit bull. (8/30/26)

Brown spider nestled in green leaf bud, shown diagonally with two legs visible outstretched to the left and the right.

Close-up of spider head, with facial sutures that make it look like a cartoon dog, if you ignore the two extra small eyes visible between its main somewhat larger eyes.

A Cross Orbweaver #spider (Araneus diadematus) in the garden. Rather than hide, this one is using her camouflage on a Queen Anne's Lace seed head to sit with a leg on her signal line, ready to scurry up her web when something arrives. #wildlifefrommywindow #arachtober #invertebrates #MacroMonday

A spider sits on a seed head that looks like it's made of a cluster of tiny clams with spikey shells (each one is about 2mm long). They're all light to mid brown. The spider is a similar colour, and is mainly side on, looking frm right to left in the frame. She has the two front legs closest the camera slightly outstretched as she balances herself. She needs to do this as the opposite two front legs are raised up, holding onto a signal line frm the centre of her web. She's waiting to feel vibrations that would indicate she has caught some prey. Her legs have thick dark and light brown stripes across them. Her head is clearly visible, covered in light brown hairs, and her abdomen is positioned so that the white spots that make the cross shape from which she gets her common name, are just visible against the chestnut brown surroundings.

A long-bodied cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides), silent, invisible and harmless to humans whilst being deadly to other spiders, even spider which are dangerous to people. A pest controller 🌱

Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans) - #Arachtober 4th
Another from our Arachtober 1st spider hunting before the rain. I always like to check prickly pear for spiders.
