Tarantula Spider

This is the same tarantula from the other post. The orange hair on the tarantula spider does not stand out that much in the picture. The camera did not capture how bright and colorful this tarantula really is.

Black and Orange Tarantula Spider

I found this tarantula spider crawling in my front yard last week. The tarantula is mostly black with orange hair.

Dark Green Tarantula Spider

Pictured is my dark green pink toe tarantula spider a couple of days after it molted. After the tarantula spider molted the hair looks very shinny.

Black Widow Spider

Picture of the famous black widow spider. This black widow spider has a red and white striped on the back. This photo was taken a few years ago. This year I have found 5 black widow females in my front yard this year. The black widows I found this year have been around 1/2 inch to 1 inch long. I have never had a spider bite me and I hope the black widow spiders do not make it into my house.

Gray Wolf Spider

Picture of a gray wolf spider sometimes called a ground spider. Here in New Mexico, USA there are a lot of wolf spiders. Most range in size from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in size. This wolf spider pictured was around 1 inch. Wolf spiders are a little difficult for me to photograph, as they are fast and do not stay still for long periods.

Brown Backed Jumping Spider

Pictured is a brown backed jumping spider from my flower garden. This jumping spider was around one inch long. Jumping spiders are one of my favorite spiders to photograph.
