A small orb weaver (Araneus diadematus) hanging in their web, viewed at a 3/4 angle. Some of the web is visible below the spider, where the backdrop is darker.
First orb weaver sighting of spring! #spidersky #araneus

A few more pictures (including one with my finger for size reference) in case this guy is recognizable to anyone. I'm in Southern Ontario! #spider

Who is this handsome fellow in my bathroom? My best guess is a Linyphiid but I'm stumped (and unwilling to disturb his little web for better pictures) #spider

Spring cleaning in the basement has revealed more black laceweavers! Look at this gentle giant 🖤 #spider
A friendly philodromid who kept me company in my reading nook yesterday. I'm guessing a Philodromus rufus? #spidersky
Acorn being cute #spidersky
I am sorry for your loss 💔 Turnip was beautiful and she was fortunate to have you!

I highly recommend cleaning your basement if you want to see the world's coolest spiders, like this pretty black laceweaver #spidersky
She's so cute 🥹

I have been granted the honour of a visit with this stunning black laceweaver (Amaurobius ferox). I can't believe there are animals this cool just living in my basement. #spidersky
I love the markings on this T. domestica. Now that we're getting into the back of our woodpile, I see one almost every time I grab firewood from the basement. #spidersky
Wild how immediately my mood improves when I find a spider.
Finally got a decent picture of Acorn's markings! #spidersky

Cleaning the paws #spidersky
Lol!
Those are some fancy paws
Acorn is feeling comfy enough in her new enclosure to hang out in the open. She's already built a web from one end to the other 🕸️ #spidersky

I do sometimes wish they weren't so good at eating other spiders lol
