A female and male Ornamental Tree Trunk Spider (Herennia multipuncta) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 22 Nov 2025. They make a lovely couple. 🙂

(The male is the small red spider.)

Two spiders sitting on a tree truck, surrounded by a spider web that is flat against the trunk. The female is larger and has an orange body and a large yellow abdomen with small red dots. The smaller male is red and is sitting on top of the female's abdomen.

#Arachtober 31: handsome little ice cream sandwich boi (male _Hentzia palmarum_ jumping spider) spotted back in August.

Damn, posting every day feels like way more work than it should. Anyway back to slightly less frequent arachnid posts tomorrow…

Jumping spider directly facing the camera, front legs spread out like it's about to jump at the camera (they do that sometimes)

#Arachtober 29: didn't have time for a proper spider outing, so hopped over the garden wall to see what I could find in the yard—and almost walked right through this cross orbweaver's web strung between the dead coneflowers and columbines! As you can hopefully see in the close-up, her jaws are full of a big lump of mushed-up bugs.

#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #spiders #Araneae #Araneidae

A closer crop of the same photo. You can hopefully better see the spider's fangs (opening sideways like scissors) in a shiny, lumpy black bolus; and its eyes, a classic orbweaver : :: : arrangement.

A dead coneflower seen from slightly below. Under the brown, withered petals shelters a brown spider with spiky, banded legs, looking at the camera with beady little eyes. Thin lines of silk, anchor lines for a web, stretch out of frame. The background is blurry but suggests a blue sky and trees.

#Arachtober 30: a lovely female hacklemesh weaver (_Amaurobius cf. ferox_) out in the open one night, rare for them. They spend most of their time in crevices in retreats of fuzzy back-combed silk that extends some way outside, letting them sense prey passing too close. People typically encounter the mature males that go wandering in search of mates and inadvertently end up inside.

The family is closely related to the funnel-weavers (family Agelenidae).

#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #spiders #Araneae #Amaurobiidae

A robust dark brown spider on light grey  stone. Its abdomen is covered with short, glossy, velvety fur with a lighter patch over the upper centre (where the heart is located). Its head is shiny, with small uniformly sized eyes clustered at the front. The legs are finely furred with no spikes or long hairs.

#Arachtober 27: late October, we're getting frost warnings, but the orbweavers just keep on trucking. Taken just a few hours ago on a grocery run; the supermarket's large windows attract a lot of midges and are great scaffolds for the ubiquitous _Larinioides_ orbweavers.

#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #spiders #Araneae #Araneidae

#Arachtober 26: sometimes on a whim you look inside a hole in a railing…

#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #spiders #Araneae #Clubionidae

A closer view, and the spider has moved a bit so you can see both his pedipalps (as you can see, enlarged at the ends, but still undifferentiated) and one of his curving fangs, which kind of folds under the chelicera like a jack-knife.

It's still #Arachtober 24 somewhere: a tiny, curious zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_). It even gave me a little head tilt. WARNING: very high levels of cute

#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #JumpingSpiders #spiders #Araneae #Salticidae

The zebra jumper tilts slightly to one side, facing the camera. Often when they do this they are about to try to jump on the lens, so I wrapped up the photoshoot here.

#Arachtober 10: happy #InternationalJumpingSpiderDay! Here is one of my favourite species, the peppered jumper _Pelegrina galathea_, seen recently. I find the females' patterns so mesmerizing. This one is brown but they can also be just black and white.

While I've found them in all manner of places, I've found that tansy flower heads are a good place to look for them. They like to make little silk retreats under the dense canopy of flowers.

#ArthroBeauty #JumpingSpiders #spiders #Araneae #Salticidae

#Arachtober 9: a very cool orbweaver, _Gea heptagon_! Named because of its seven-pointed abdomen. So far I have only found them low among the grass in a particular marshy meadow. The juveniles have similar circular web decorations as young _Argiope_.

#Arachtober 7: can't go wrong with a classic, the photogenic bold jumping spider (_Phidippus audax_). In my experience they are shy at first, but if you take a little extra time and are patient, they become curious and friendly.

#Arachtober 8: these small, delicate dish-shaped webs are made by mesh-web weavers, family Linyphiidae. Look for a small smooth spider with thin tapered legs hanging upside down, waiting to size any small insects that fall onto the web.

#ArthroBeauty #spiderwebs #spiders #Araneae #Linyphiidae

The maker of the web, at the edge. It has faint white markings on the underside of its dark brown abdomen, and dark brown bands on its thin, pointed brown legs. The bulbous but still simple and undifferentiated pedipalps indicate this is a juvenile male.

Let's kick off #Arachtober with some fall colours! This beautiful coppery jumping spider—_Eris rufa_, maybe, or _Pelegrina_?—reminded me of autumn leaves. Tried to get an even closer pic of its iridescent scales.

#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #spiders #JumpingSpiders #Araneae #Salticidae

Close-up shot from above. The jumping spider's dark head is covered in short, fine, pale hairs. Its brown abdomen is covered with many small flat scale-like hairs that produce a pastel iridescence, like those "holo" highlight pressed powders that were a popular makeup trend a while back.

The tops of the pedipalps, too, are white.

Close-up shot from above. The jumping spider's dark head is covered in short, fine, pale hairs. Its brown abdomen is covered with many small flat scale-like hairs that produce a pastel iridescence, like those "holo" highlight pressed powders that were a popular makeup trend a while back.
A jumping spider on pine bark, seen from slightly above, its robust first pair of legs partly raised. It has a shiny copper-coloured abdomen, red-brown legs banded with a more golden brown (a sort of tortoiseshell colour scheme), and a black-brown head with a broad white band along each side. The tops of the pedipalps, too, are white.

Her impeccable lashes

#DailySpiderPic#JumpingSpiders #spiders#Araneae#Salticidae

A light grey and white female Platycryptus undatus jumping spider, facing the camera head on. She is the same colour as the concrete she's on. She has fluffy white pedipalps, a white face, and two tufts of wispy lashes (pointing at a perfect 45° and 90°) on either side of the small anterior lateral eyes flanking her large black anterior median eyes.
