Wasp Spider. Wish I’d taken the photo but it was taken by my sister in law in her garden in the centre of Cardiff!! Will be reporting the sighting to the iReport website on her behalf. #ukspiders #arachnids

A jumping spider from Costa Rica (I think a male Colonus sp.), who looks as if he is absolutely shocked, shocked! that I would imply he'd hurt a fly. 🌿🐙🕷️ #arachnids

A macro photo of a jumping spider on a green leaf. The spider has black legs, an orange head with pale metallic blue chelicerae and a line of white hairs making a thin "mustache" in the shape of an upside-down "V" below the eyes.

A spectacular jumping spider from the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. We found a clearing with several of these tiny (around 3 mm.) spiders in the leaf litter. Females are also colorful, but not quite as vibrant. (When I get an ID I'll add it in the comments.) 🐙🌿📷🕷️ #arachnids

A macro photo of a jumping spider on a decaying stick, front three-quarter view. The spider is spectacularly colored - dark, nearly-black body and legs with yellow-orange patches on the abdomen and face, and metallic blue hairs on the legs, palps, chelicerae (mouthparts that end in the fangs) and on top of the head just behind the central eyes.

A nice discovery under flaking bark of a diseased tree, the tiny nymph of a Chernes cimicoides pseudoscorpion in its silk moulting chamber. The claws of the shed skin can be seen above the pale nymph. The bark was carefully replaced. #arachnids #pseudoscorpions

Brown tree trunk with scattered black bits on it and in the centre an open oval of silk with a tiny little pale greyish pseudoscorpion tucked inside.

Close-up of the silken chamber where the pseudoscorpion sheds its skin. The pseudoscorpion is pale greyish with robust 'arms' that end in stout claws. The claws of the shed skin are visible at the top of the chamber and are a dark reddish-brown colour.

A couple of nice Jumping Spiders from West Norfolk - Salticus cingulatus and Marpissa muscosa. Found with @jeremybartlett.bsky.social #arachnids #spiders

A white spider with black markings head down on a grey wooden fence. Below the spider and slightly left is the shiny head of a nail hammered deep into the wood with a horizontal split spreading either side of it.

A brown and white flecked spider on a brown wooden fence post. It's head is rather squarish and the body is a long oval. The legs are relatively short. The spider's front two eyes are very large and round.

Female Regal Jumper 🕷️ (Phidippus regius) found & photo’d on a car windshield last week after a pool swim in Bonita Springs, Florida 6-17-26 #macroMonday #minimalism #eck #bugSky #spiders #arachnids #jumpers #macro #photography #art #threeWordGenre Olympus OM-3 90mm f10 1/250 ak diffuser 1 photo

A largely black and white jumping spider faces the camera while standing on the reflective surface of a car windshield. Two large eyes sit above iridescent green mouthparts. Six smaller eyes rest on the head. Hair covers the legs and body. A reflection appears on the surface below the spider, in which the mouthparts appear blue instead of green because of the different viewing angle of the iridescence. The background consists of a solid, dark color, marred by water and dust spots.

Peppered jumping spider (Pelegrina galathea) shelters under beggartick wildflower (Bidens alba) CREW pen flint strand trails Bonita Springs, Florida 8-15-26 #colorADay #greenSaturday #SpiderSaturday #eck #threeWordGenre #green #photography #nature #art #spiders #arachnids #jumpers #macro #florida

A macro close-up captures a tiny, fuzzy jumping spider clinging upside down to the bright green stem of a wildflower. The spider looks directly forward with its two large, prominent center eyes catching a metallic reflection. Its body and legs feature intricate, zebra-like patterns of black, white, and brown hair. Above the spider, a single large white petal curves over the orange, textured center of the flower bloom, all set against a stark, solid black background.

Far fewer orb-weaver spiders around than I normally see in my garden at this time of year, smaller than usual too, the opposite of what I expected in early summer 🌱 #InsectThursday #BugSky #Bloomscrolling #arachnids #spiders #UKWildlife #UKGardening

Green lynx spider (Peucetia viridans) on winged loosestrife (Lythrum alatum) CREW pen flint strand lakes & trails Bonita Springs, Florida 7-3-26 Diurnal pouncer, and venom spitter. #macroMonday #macro #nature #BlueSkyMonday #ColorADay #pink #blue #green #eck #threeWordGenre #arachnids #spiders 🕷️

A translucent apple-green lynx spider clings to the mahogany stem of a wildflower, its long legs covered in stark black spines and ebon speckles. The spider's dewy, elongated emerald abdomen features faint white and rose chevron markings, while its face displays a cluster of dark eyes. Above the hunter, pale lavender and wisteria-purple petals are also dotted with glistening morning dew. These soft violet blooms contrast with the deep sienna and ochre tones of the lower flower buds. The entire scene sits against a cool powder-blue and hazy white sky, creating a peaceful backdrop for the arachnid’s vibrant green.

A gorgeous orb weaver spider (iNat suggests Alpaida sp.) in Brazil. Seen resting on a leaf during the day in fairly thick brush, waiting for dusk to begin building a web. A cool little detail is the pair of small spines, one on either side of the thick part of the abdomen. #arachnids 🐙🌿📷
