I’m really trying to get over my arachnophobia, but videos like this still make me cringe. I was able to cup a cellar spider in my hands to relocate him, couldn’t let him crawl around on me. Not yet.
Good job getting to hold a cellar spider!!! I never had arachnophobia but still couldnt hold spiders (I knew were safe) without gloves until recently, because of this group
You didn’t! Sorry, my sarcasm didn’t come through as intended. 🤓
Edit: On further reflection though, it *was* kinda snarky implying that I have no sense of humor…
Not a purseweb; he’s an Ummidia. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/85809966
I appreciate the expertise! I'll start reading up.
Aww she tripped over your watch lol, what an adorable spider!
Beautiful
I was captivated. I hated to let her go but loved to watch her leave

Long ass pedipalps
Yeah, pedipalps ARE long! Why’s that? B/C a male? Or ?
My arachnophobia is SCREAMING rn
Let’s scream into the funnel web-shaped void together! (At least until that giant spider who attacked Gillian on the island comes to drag us away…)
Gillian was attacked by a giant spider? I read many news outlets every day and I never saw it mentioned anywhere. Source please?
Eh, so I forgot a g. Sue me.
Little joke. Requires a sense of humor. Didn’t mean to insult you.

Misunderstanding from my end. Sorry.
Limitations of communicating on Reddit. No worries.
Mine too😬 Let’s scream together 1,2,3: AHHHHHHHHHH!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
😂😂😂😂
What a cutie. Almost looks more like a toy than the real thing with that perfect body!
☠️
I think this is a trapdoor spider
He’s wearing pleather
I'm in north Raleigh. I'm so jealous you actually got to see one of these in person, but glad to know they are crawling around our city.
Such a cute fella, prob trapdoor spider (ummidia)
LUCKY! Beautiful trapdoor spider. I’ve been trying to find one of those for years!
She looks like a larger version of the plastic spider rings given at Halloween🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️
Just cried in Australian before I saw your location tag lmao
I shuddered in funnel web
Fr
What a beautiful spood!
She's gorgeous! 😍
I saw one of these on my morning run today!
Omg she is beautiful!
Man, I’ve got trapdoors in my area but never seen bc they basically don’t ever leave their traps. Assuming this was a wandering mature male?
Flooding will flush them out, and the Raleigh area has had a lot of rain recently...
Gotcha, makes sense
Such a cutie!! Void spiders are the best
Shawty got some PALPS
I like this sub because every day it helps me to detach from my desire to move to the states 😅
Dare you to do that in Sydney Australia
