Hello #Arachtober . It's so good to see you again. You are the most wonderful time of the year.
Verrucosa arenata duo. I'm sure they spun some awesome orbs across the trail that evening, taking advantage of the insect flyways trails create in the forest.
Telamonia dimidiata subadult female, looking quite dramatic as she reaches up to grasp a silk line. She whooshed up out of sight right after this. In our garden, Konkan Coast. #Arachtober
A harvester that I described as voluptuous when I found it.

I show these all the time but they're just so lovely. Marbled orb weaver Araneus marmoreus #Arachtober
I found this shockingly agile male Scarlet Sheetweb Weaver, Florinda coccinea, scrambling across the outside of our garage. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, May 28, 2022. #Arachtober
Have you ever looked closely at a #pseudoscorpion hand?
The 'hand' (chela) has 2 parts called the fixed & movable fingers. Blue arrows show sensory hairs (trichobothria): the number & position of these help us identify different species.
