    spiders will eat any insect that gets caught in their web as far as I know

    Worms.don't often.climb.up into spider webs they aren't.ntural diet for spiders


    Crickets and.flying.insects are best I think.

    Moths and butterflies are probly the easiest tto feed then crickets

    I've even seen a black widow eat a.scorpion that got stuck in the wweb

    Quite a bounty of rare species were to be found on my journey to the imperial sand dunes, a large erg, or dune field near the borders of arizona and mexico.  many rare and interesting beetles, as well as rare scorpions.  I have the very first known image of a serradigitus species from this region:

     This is attractive little species has never been photographed before until now.  The genus Serradigitus is somewhat like Centruroides in behavior.  So many species of scorpions live here that it's easy to overlook something rare!

     Next is Paruroctonus xanthus, rare, and often misidentified as smeringerus.  
     
     [​IMG]
     
     Paruroctonus arenicola (?)  Unknown paruroctonus species, probably quite rare..

     Smeringurus mesaensis- the Giant sand scorpion

     These are easily the most badass scorpions i've ever seen.  They are like ninja scorpions and they're extremely fast, they run around like camel spiders, destroying any poor creature unfortunate enough to be in their path..  Very handsome as well!  They were quite abundant, so I managed to collect over $300.00 worth of them :D
     
  4. you sell them?

    Used to be terrified and got the heebee jeebees

    But I am overcoming my fear with a general curiousity on why they look and do what they do
    I have tons of pictures about 80% of the spider species found in the mile high I would have to go to Colorado Springs to get more variety

    So with no further a due I present to you a spotted orb weaver walking across the ground it's little bit bigger than a quarter dollar but it's not a half dollar size ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1410309761.042513.jpg
     
  7.  I went to the desert again lol.  This time i got some really cool species :D
     
     First is Hadrurus arizonensis, a massive scorpion found in california and arizona, not easy to catch, either!

    [​IMG]
     
      She's around 6" in length, this is the largest scorpion in the USA.  
     
     Next up, a huge solifugid (camel-spider) from Ocotillo wells, CA- an unincorporated community just outside the border of the Anza borrego state park.

     [​IMG]
     
     I lifted a rock and found this male solifugid- probably the same species as the female above:
     
     [​IMG]
     
      Another Hadrurus arizonensis devouring an unfortunate windscorpion that ran straight into its claws!
     
     [​IMG]
     
     Here's a massive female Aphonopelma iodius, she's enormous!

    [​IMG]

      The more I go, the more happy I get.  I needed this, as life has been stressful lately.  It's awesome to escape urban areas..

  11. Yep, this is the second time they pulled this bullshit, which infuriates me, because I was a member long before they ran this policy.

      It's okay.. I'll just use imgur.  They wont delete my drawings of boobies.

  14. I've got 30-40 spiders spread around my apt, I let them chill 
     
    If they get too big and start crawling all over tho I have to take them out (of the house, I don't kill them, nature has that covered)
     
    I do go on mass exterminations before I have women over tho, for the most part
     
  15. My house is new and on property where a honey bee and general purpose farm used to be (rural Tennessee).. There's spiders everywhere out here. I seriously bet someone could make some money out here doing SOMETHING involving spiders.

  16. Well, it depends on the species.  If you've got lots of flowers, you've got lots of salticidae (jumping spiders), and definitely at least two phidippus species.

     
     
  17. spiders are actually pretty cool. always thought the ear spider stories were pretty cool. they never bit or hurt the people they would "burrow" in, they'd just sit in there and do their thing. spiders need a home, too! and i love how in this picture the spider is just sitting there like "what the fuck is this thing doing in my home?" he looks scared! xD

  18. if a spider burrowed into my ear I'd.kill it.

    I don't care if of just needed a home, that shit doesn't fly
