A black tarantula with red abdomen hairs is resting in her enclosure after molting. Her molt is discarded next to her. She used to have a bald spot, but now she is properly fluffy again! Let's hope she stays that way.
the new girl molted!! she's got all her hair back 😊💕 #spider #tarantula #tliltocatlvagans #arachnophiles
Screenshot of a 3d model of a spider, we're looking at the bottom of the "head" with the spider facing down. The chalicera and fangs are visible, as well as the coax of the palp and front legs, and the rostrum and labrum.

OK, here's what I've got now. I will probably add some little "teeth" along the back-inner ridge on the chalicerae. Do I add some along the palp-coax too (for the rudimentary maxillae)?

A very small brown wolf spider. Around her eyes is a black marking, like a cartoon bandit mask.
i found a young trochosa with the same bandit mask marking that turnip had at that age 🥹 #spider #wolfspider #trochosaruricola #arachnophiles

Spider people, I need your knowledge! I'm working on a 3d model of a liphistius (segmented spider). I can't find good info/pics on the "mouth" area, between the chalicera/fangs and rostrum. What goes here? Any features that should be present?

Screenshot of a 3d model of a spider, top/front/side-ish view. It has segments visible on the abdomen, an fangs that point down and back.
Screenshot of a 3d model of a spider, back/bottom view. It has four spinnerets coming from the bottom-center of the abdomen, and fang that point down and back.
Getting this spider model ready for printing. Spider people, do you recognize the species?
(No I'm not that fast. I've had this partially done for years, and just added some detail and cut it up so I can print the legs/palps/abdomen/cephalothorax separately.)

A large, dark brown wolf spider. She is a Tigrosa Helluo named Truffle. She is resting on a piece of bark in her enclosure, looking gorgeous. She recently laid an egg sac, but it didn't work out so she is not carrying it.
A large, brown wolf spider with spots on her abdomen. She is a Tigrosa Helluo named Miss Spots who is staying with us until it is warm enough to release her. She was caught locally but isn't enjoying being kept as much as Truffle. She is very pretty though!
A wolf spider with a dark brown cephalothorax with a tan stripe running all the way down it to a tan colored abdomen with spots. He is a Tigrosa Georgicola named Bonbon. He is very handsome. He is the only one of my wolf spiders that was captive bred.

A cream and dark brown wolf spider if contemplating eating a mealworm. If you know spider anatomy and look closely, you can see the palpal bulbs on the pedipalps that indicate a fully grown male.
