sandrewn Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 I honestly don't have a problem with spiders, live and let live is my motto. BUT, having said that, if I was to have a similar port-a-potty experience, that might well change.

sandrewn Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Yes, I know you all think I tend to post mostly nasty things on this thread. Well this time I want to show you the only spider that really takes care of her young ones, now that isn't so bad is it?

DarkChanteuse Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 My spouse leaves me the spiders because he's too scared to deal with them. One time I got into the shower right after him and there was a massive spider in the corner of the shower. He claims he didn't see it, but I swear it was the size of a small cat. 3
sandrewn Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) So different, yet alike us in some ways. Though Sigmund Freud I think, would have had a difficult time with applying cause and effect by parents in their case. I also think that with those FANGS, Trust might be a major issue (ouch, ouch, ouch). Spider Behaviors Include Oral Sexual Encounters!

northie Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Took this photo today of spiderlings (at least that's what I think they are!). Anyone who knows different, please say ... 4
sandrewn Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Took this photo today of spiderlings (at least that's what I think they are!). Anyone who knows different, please say ... I enlarged your photo along with this one I found. When put side by side, they look very similar. So I believe, these are tiny baby European Garden Spiders (Araneus diadematus). They are an orb-weaver spider found in Europe and North America. Here is a reference page with multiple pictures of our little friends. https://www.google.ca/search?q=araneus+diadematus&client=ubuntu&hs=rJs&channel=fs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjutu20-PTMAhWHHD4KHalQDZEQiR4IhgE&biw=1024&bih=747&dpr=1.25#channel=fs&tbm=isch&q=araneus+diadematus+spiderlings Sandrewn 3

So I believe, these are tiny baby European Garden Spiders (Araneus diadematus). They are an orb-weaver spider found in Europe and North America. One of my favourite spiders. I know autumn has arrived when they are spinning their webs. Thanks for your detective work, Sandrewn! Edited May 25, 2016 by northie 1

sandrewn Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 This has to be one of the most beautiful or handsome (?) of spiders I have ever seen. Avicularia versicolor sling (spiderling). Commonly known as the Antilles or Martinique Pinktoe. Sandrewn However, I would prefer to view them from behind a thick, bullet proof glass walled, guarantied escape proof enclosure. 2
