Sorry, I really can't offer any scientific names off the top of my head :(

OK, first one is a male funnel weaver. Lemme guess, he was one BIG fucker? Bro, around here I have seen males the size medium-sized tarantulas. They're huge, fast and mean. And by fast I mean FAST.

The next two are barn spiders.

Dunno about the next 4.

The next one is just a house spider, pretty sure it belongs to the comb-footed genus.

I. is Hogna rabida and have no idea what J is, it's too blurry to tell.

K. is a male house spider (comb-footed).

Dunno what species jumping spider L is.

M. Is that some kind of Latrodectus??!?!?! :eek: wow!


N, O are female barn spiders and P is a male :)

Yeah the first spider was pretty big, but I think they're more skiddish than aggressive. Not as big as the fishing spider I found, had about a 3.5" leg span.

Here she is.

H is a female of Achaearanea tepidariorum (note her grey egg cocoons), K is probably her male.
What is a barn spider? Is it a singel species or a bunch of unidenifiable orb weavers?

L. = adorable :}

Some of those (B, C, N, O and P) look quite similar to the A. diadematus that I keep... might wanna look it up for yurself, but I know they come in dramatically different colours, my two favourites are 1) My Precious- she's about 1.5" from front to back leg, and bright orange and creme coloured and 2) Aurora, about the same size a My Precious, but she's brown, grey, white, and black.
