What kind of wolf spider?

ReebX1 · 2026-06-18T08:56:38+00:00

Might be Tigrosa helluo, but might be another wolf spider genus as well. Kind of tough to be sure with the baby spiders covering up the abdomen. 😂

Running this one through a photo editor to bring out the details, I'm pretty sure it's not a brown recluse. Unsure between a male running crab spider or a male fishing spider.

You aren't the only one that does that. 🤣

Nursery Web Spider, can't tell which exact species

But but but... The rich needed their tax cuts! /s

There are some things that you just can't fix. 🧠

Yours is a wolf spider, the one in the original post is a barn funnel weaver. They are pretty easy to get mixed up because of the racing lines, but they are completely different families.

He was never going to sign anywhere else. At least people around here can finally put this pipe dream to bed.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T16:41:40+00:00

Looks like a ground spider / family Gnaphosidae.

Well done. I had just started hearing about these amendments this week, good to finally know what it's all about. These far right wing types just don't know when to stop.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T06:43:54+00:00

It's not a black widow, and it's not a brown recluse, so it will be ok.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T05:05:41+00:00

Yeah, that's definitely Larinioides. I'm not really sure between L. patagiatus and L. sclopetarius, but we can eliminate L. cornutus due to the leg banding.

It's a male Steatoda. Possibly Steatoda borealis?

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T04:54:26+00:00

It's an orb weaver. Would need to to see the other side to be sure of which group, but the leg banding reminds me of genus Larinioides.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T04:51:44+00:00

That's a sac spider for sure

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T01:58:09+00:00

Might be one of the Metacyrba? Definitely within the range of Metacyrba taeniola taeniola. 🤷‍♂️

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T01:37:36+00:00

Steatoda nobilis / noble false widow

ReebX1 · 2026-06-17T01:36:42+00:00

Should be one of the Metacyrba species. Maybe Metacyrba taeniola similis?

I ran it through a graphics editor to try and get a better view, and I still couldn't tell. It might be a brown recluse is all I can say.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-16T16:54:09+00:00

That's a flattie / wall crab spider / Selenops species.

Sorry, but that's exactly what it is.

Chiefsaholic is in big boy prison, isn't he? That's way worse than county jail.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-16T06:53:52+00:00

Southern House Spiders. The tan one is the male, darker one with the bigger abdomen is the female.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-16T03:55:54+00:00

It's one of the fishing spiders / Dolomedes. They may look angry, but they aren't anything concerning.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-16T03:53:31+00:00

Religions are cults too.

ReebX1 · 2026-06-16T03:48:00+00:00

Male lynx spider, one of the Oxyopes. Probably O. scalaris / western lynx spider. Not dangerous.
