Beautiful shedding by a tiny P. phalangioides in my kitchen. 32 legs, if you count the shadows! @BritishSpiders #🕷️

Araniella cucurbitina enjoying the full sun, on mint. Birmingham UK

A decent sized house spider. And it's not even arachtober. @BritishSpiders

Another Scytodes thoracica in the bathroom at the School of Jewellery. There seems to be a healthy population on the second floor. @BritishSpiders

@RichardIWarner A Jersey Tiger. I saw one yesterday.

[Anastasia Young @Anaesthesija]

@BritishSpiders Now that you say it, she does look gravid.... Well she has lots of choice of venue for the nursery.

[Anastasia Young @Anaesthesija]

At last, my first Pisaura mirabilis in my own garden. @BritishSpiders

"Sloth bone jewellery anyone? 🦥

@CorrynWetzel tells @timothyrevell the armoured, bony scales of giant sloths may have been turned into necklaces by our ancestors – placing humans in the Americas 10,000 years earlier than we thought.

Feel like I'm on a roll this week: I've already seen Tetragnatha, and a wolf spider with egg ball.

*Britain’s NEW RAILWAY CLOCK:*
I’m delighted to share the news that @networkrail - with @RIBA & @designmuseum - is inviting proposals for the design of a timepiece to display & communicate time across the UK rail network. An unmissable opportunity: https://t.co/4hM8jqrG1x

[Anastasia Young @Anaesthesija]

Bats and engraving. Great combination.

[Anastasia Young @Anaesthesija]

Bat over Birmingham 🖤

@Cem_Res Try catnip, always works for us. Still might take a little while to build trust.

Cue aggressive juvenile Loxosceles laeta on the bed

That time I went to Chile and was told: we don’t really have any interesting spiders here.

[Anastasia Young @Anaesthesija]

@BritishSpiders Oh thank you! I thought he was, but I'm not sure I've seen one before. Benefit of moving to a different city: different spiders.

[Anastasia Young @Anaesthesija]

Found a handsome but thirsty SpiderLad this evening, so I gave him a drink.
