Guidelines for ID requests - first and foremost, always include a geographic location!
18
Upvotes
See the rules in the sidebar, also.
If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:
Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

Hello folks,
To our regulars: thank you for being here!
And to newcomers: welcome! This is a community by bug enthusiasts, for bug enthusiasts. As such, we ask that you refrain from the following types of comments:
- "Kill it with fire" and its endless variations are not welcome here. We know it's a meme. We've heard it a million times. Just don't.
- If someone asks for an ID and your comment is "it's a spider" for example, that's neither helpful nor funny, so please don't post that kind of thing. If you'd like to contribute an ID, be as specific as you can.
Thank you for your visit today and have a great day :)

Native to the seashore , they are really large for pseudoscorpions, mine do well on a diet of adult springtails , I keep two species , this strange large claw seashore one and another that’s an unknown species that lives with my isopods , this one tends to be a lot more shy and love to hide

So I’ve had this spider for a bit (first two photos) and I just got this new spider (last two photos) thinking she was a fancy color. Am I tripping or are they the same color ??

Just spotted outside by my front door. The body is nearly an inch long. I'm pretty sure it's a Rabidosa rabida. But everything I'm seeing about where they can be found says Maine to Florida, and west to Texas. I'm in southern California - San Bernardino county. Have they spread this far west? Or was Google Lens wrong on the ID?

This was found in a restaurant setting, and the cleaner sent me these pictures after they had dispatched it out of fear. Any medical significance? Thanks for your expertise!

Photo taken in Miranda State, Venezuela where Tityus Scorpions are endemic.
Edit: I'm not completely sure, but very inclined to think it is a Tityus. If it is, I would like to know what especies is.
