What is everyone's favorite non T spider?

[WithCerberus]

Lets see some pics of everyone's favorite spiders (non T). This is Sphodros rufipes, a local spider we have in southern Illinois that I hope to get some photographs of them this summer if I can find any of the little buggers. 8)

I love the "writing spiders" (some kind of argiope) that live in NC, they're beautiful when they get full grown.

Wolf spiders (Used to be Lycosa, think thats changed lately?) are cool too because they behave (to me) like smaller tarantulas. In the foothills of NC we see a lot of them in the fall, when they're roaming around looking for a winter hide. This one got caught in cobwebs behind my heater two yeras ago (any suggestions as to its exact species would be appreciated)

is this the writing spider that you were talking about Malkavian? They are gorgeous aren't they. I can't wait to run into one now that I have my new camera. I really like the wolf spiders too. I kept a carolina wolf before but released her when she turned up one morning with an egg sac. Talk about an aggressive feeder, it was amazing to watch her hunt.

This is one of our favorites

These are from Hawaii, hopefully someday we'll get to visit and see one in the wild.





Personally, my favorite spider is the Portia but I don't have any pics right now. I'd love to see some if anybody else has some available

[WithCerberus]

Those are awesome. Do yiou know what species it is and how big they are?
Mmmm Hawaii, what a nice thought to go to bed on. Very cool pics.

Tell me, where does one find a Portia to buy? I would love one of those! And the little yellow ones are great looking

Is this one of of the Portia spiders you were talking about?

[Malkavian]

Cerb- Yes that's the spider i was talking about. The ones in North Carolina typically have darker black crosshatching than the one you picture but other than that they look identical

[Longbord1]

I used to catch Dysdera Crocata (or a spider that looks exactly like it) when i was a kid. They have some massive fangs and aren't afraid to use them. :)
...and by the way mouse spiders are not yucky :)

Dysdera Crocata

Now that is a truly scary looking beast :eek: :eek:

I bet they are pretty free about using those as well... And I thought my centipede has an impressive mouth piece, it might have the upper hand in venom, but...

Phoneutria nigriventer and Atrax robustus

/Lelle
Phoneutria fera for me, closely followed by nigriventer.

OK, I thought you could only be in copyright violation if the picture is being used for commercial puposes? Am I wrong on this?

[JohnxII]

Has to be one of these guys, I used to keep them when I was in secondary school:

[Venom]

I'd say Hogna helluo : http://entomology.unl.edu/images/spiders/lycosa_helluo.jpg

And maybe these as well....

WC,

Basically with using the IMG tags on a picture that you do not hold the copyright to, you are stealing the bandwidth of the person hosting the picture. We don't allow that.

If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.
