Spiders are our friends, not the vile, eight-legged monsters they have been demonized to be. Share your favorite photos of spiders and arachnids here (yes, daddy-long-legs or order Opiliones are welcome, too).

There are a couple varieties of spider that roam so identification is dependent on certain specifics. Color, distinctive markings, number of eyes, proportions, country, and behavior are the simple ones. Gotta catch it to be certain of its name!
Look up common spiders for your state or country if you believe you can identify it from your quick look. Shouldn’t take much more than 20 minutes to sift through the natives unless you live in a heavily forested area.
If I see this little hunter again, I’ll be sure to pay closer attention to the details. If I start describing the colors or shapes now, there’s a huge risk of those faint memories being inaccurate or even completely false. However, I would like to think it had two white longitudinal stripes, but I don’t trust that memory at all.
