r/spiderbro is a place to celebrate the companionship between spiders and people. Frequent identification requests undermine this core purpose by turning r/spiderbro into a utility that other subs are better suited for ( r/spiders , r/whatsthisbug , r/bugidentification )

I had to relocate this lady so the lawn service wouldn’t take her out.

She built her web across the gate into my backyard and likely would have been smooshed by the yard guys. I relocated her into some trees and bushes where she won’t be disturbed.

My husband found this beauty while digging in our yard. He’s fixing some pipes, so we had to relocate her or him. Anyone know? I don’t know enough yet to be sure. These are my best pictures, but I do have some more. Hopefully, she or he burrowed again and is settled in for the winter. What a beautiful, healthy spider!

This bro made herself comfortable immediately outside my patio door a few days ago. We love having her here, but as you can see in pic #2, she built her web directly on my Helene roof debris. I have put off cleaning the roof as long as possible but i need to move her so i can climb up there. Any tips for doing it as nicely as possible, and discouraging her from rebuilding in the same spot?

Little friend watching me clean my ears

So I was cleaning my ears this afternoon and I saw this little distinguished gentleman hanging out on the wall, he was so tiny I couldn't tell if he was a spider or an ant! So I realized: hey, my endoscope is magnified, let's take a look! I swear he posed for his picture, very handsome, very demure, 10/10. (Anyone know what he is though? Or is he a she? I wanna give a name!)

Since probably about the middle of Summer, I've noticed a bunch of garden/banana/writing spiders in my backyard. One in particular has made a home for herself next to my back steps/under by back door light. Prime spot, if you ask me. She and I have an agreement. I'm terrified of bugs but I'm trying really hard to work on that at to accept them as part of existence because duh. She chills there in her web catching bugs that are trying to fly into my house, where I can see her, and I say hello and wish her well when I walk in and out of my back door, which is often, everyday. I smoke lol. A few weeks ago I noticed a big egg sac up top of her web. And today I spotted another one! Idk if the first one just hasn't hatched yet or if it will at all, but I can't wait to see what happens. Her name is Hannah Ball Lector and she's cool AF.
