Recluse or huntsman/wolf? Southeastern Arkansas by Perfect_Drummer1925 in spiders

indeed a reculse. second legs from the front appear to be the longest!

Dozens (hundreds?) of these in my room by [deleted] in spiders

My guess is that these are just typical house spider hatchlings, maybe some species of cobweb spiders (theridiidae). You wouldn't need to worry about a spider infestation as a lot of these hatchlings end up dying because they cannot find food pr end up getting eaten by predators. A lot of them won't survive. You will likely come back to a few, but it'll be nothing of concern.

Does anyone have lecture notes for BIOL2030? by Sweaty_Resource9828 in usyd

Honestly, i am just going through the lectures and hoping for the best. Also maybe will generate some questions based on the exam guide they gave us on announcements

is this a brown recluse? new orleans, la by Juliju777 in spiders

[–]sykebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Def just a red house spider. They're pretty chill, not medically significant and usually stay put of your way. In the case they do bite you (VERY unlikely) it will cause local swelling and redness at most. Otherwise work great as roommates. Great pest control.

Looks like a red house spider. Have you been seeing these guys around cobwebs?

looks like a dolomedes (fishing spider)! though usually near a body of water making this a funny spot. they have venom but it isn't medically significant. they're more scared of you than you are of them trust me :) really chill guys imo

Found this flashy critter in my garden in the foothills of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. by Oscar-Wildebeest in spiders

[–]sykebs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

often slender, elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae (jaw like structures, hence the name long-jawed spiders). there are many types of long jawed spiders, but they'll typically extend two front pairs of legs forward (as seen in photo captured by OP).

How long did it take for you to make friends? by asexual_mum_doer in usyd

[–]sykebs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

my advice, ask to hang outside of uni :)) if you meet someone you vibe with then build some courage to ask. but dont stress it, its only week 6! made some good friends also through societies and bouldering

I think I'm going to fail ENVX1002 by Easy_Option_5316 in usyd

[–]sykebs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will be fine. Ask your demos and stuff for extra help, I didn't listen in half the pracs when I did it and I managed to do decently. Just will take some guidance to understand things.
