Brown and Tan Crab Spider

Pictured is a brown and tan crab spider. Found this crab spider on the ground mix in the ground. Crab spiders are masters at camouflage. The crab spiders blend in very well and are sometimes hard to see.

Orange and Black Jumping Spider

Pictured is an orange and black jumping spider on a leaf. This jumping spider was small as it was only around 1/2 inch long.

Camel Spider

Well pictured is the famous camel spider known by many different names. Also known as the sun scorpion and wind scorpion. I found this camel spider in my backyard 2 years ago. This camel spider was a major pain to photograph. This spider was only around 1 inch long but it was extremely fast! I had to chase this spider around to photograph it. Here in New Mexico, USA I find these around once per year. Since they are somewhat difficult to photograph, I do not get that many good pictures of camel spiders.

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.

Orange Horned Orb Spider

Pictured is of a orange horned orb spider. This spider weaves beautiful spider webs. This spider was a little large than one inch in size. I have horned orb spiders in my garden usually every year. This photo was taken about 2 years ago. This year I have a brown horned orb spider on my porch, but have been unable to photograph the spider yet, because it has been raining a lot. Since it is fall I hope to find some orange horned spiders this year. Orange horned spiders are very cool looking.

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.
