Couple small trues I found in my room.
1st one ..fairly certain Uloborus diversus...
Ive gotten these to live with widows when in large(ish) spaced enclosure.

This one is the real mystery. Im afraid it may be a stowaway from my trip to Hawaii. I found it when unpacking hiking gear a few days after my return. Maybe wrong ...just never seen it before.
Thinkin.. Dictynidae ...maybe Genus Mallos or Dictyna ?? Or sorta looks like Desidae..but... anyway, any guesses towards ID and its native land would be appreciated! :thmbup:

Spider # 2 sure is a pretty little girl, whatever she is! Love her leopard spots! :) Is she as pilous as she appears?

Best to put that one under a microscope and key it out. It would be interesting to know exactly what it is.

yea ive seen those form my trip to hawiia youd beter either a keep tghem in that enclouse or b unfortuanly exterinate them iam sorry but thats all we need more intorduced species
Hardly an introduction. Its just not that easy. Especially with a environmental/climate downgrade. How many spiders get transfered around the world everyday? I bet thousands come into our CA ports everyday and only a very small percentage of an even smaller percentage of adaptable species make it to DisneyLand. ;)
edit: hmm...replied to a ghost post ...

I'm going to make a wild guess, based on the shape of the carapace, and the legs, and say it looks like ... maybe ... Cyclosa sp. (Araneidae). That's all I can think of. If it doesn't build an orb web, of course, it's something else. :)

No, I was talking about the other spider.
