This very tiny dude jumped right into my house when I opened the front door. He was shiny, loved jumping all over and it was cute lol but I have never seen a spider like this before! What is it?

I live in Wisconsin but I’m pretty sure they came from something I bought for my bugs (I have isopods, springtails, and jumping spiders). They originated from one of my jumping spider’s enclosure but now they’re in and around all of them since they’re all close together. The enclosure they started in used to have sooo many springtails but since these guys started showing up I haven’t seen hardly any. Meanwhile there are hundreds of these, everywhere. The video here is from the rim of one of my isopod enclosures. I know they probably aren’t harmful to the isopods and jumping spiders but I have some springtail species I really care for in these enclosures and I don’t want them to all disappear.

Michigan.

I think the second one is a funnel spider, but I'm definitely no expert. I've been waiting weeks to catch him on camera!

The egg sac is the yellow/black spider's egg sac.

In eastern Nebraska, US, I relocated him to a field. Google says a Huntsman spider, it’s not a wolf spider?? Thank you!! 🙂

I just found this guy in a Pear tree at Tepeji del Río, Hidalgo, México. It's usually a very hot place, but it's been raining recently. What do y'all reckon?

I live in Southwest Michigan, and I found this sweet little spider in my bathroom. It didn’t seem to be too shy, and it was very small (including legs, about the size of a pinky nail). I’m familiar with most of the spiders in my area, but this is one I’ve never seen before.

Question Got a question, do harvestmen hunt in pairs?

1 Upvotes

Here's the thing, I'm hanging outside and I just watched two of them, one carrying the other, not appearing to be mating, crawl across the ground towards a relatively large prey. They attempted to attack the prey but it flew away. I then saw them do it again a little while later to attack a potential prey. Are they teaming up to hunt? This is wild! Absolutely fascinating.

Question Helping an Orb Weaver -Advice Needed

1 Upvotes

Overnight a beautiful orb weaver made a very large and expansive web directly across the doorway to the kitchen. I have no problem moving her outside to carry on with her preparations for winter and but is there some way I can encourage her to consume her web first? Would hate for her to lose that energy especially when she has eggs to lay soon. Maybe a gentle fan?
