I.D. These Spiders and Finds Please?

[IamBots]

Scroll down for updated post! Thanks.

I live in the panhandle of Oklahoma and have caught a few males like this trying to come into my house before the cold weather. Tonight I found this waiting in my pajama pant leg. I believe by the larger rump it's female, so I plan on keeping it. Any idea on breed?

Thanks.


This will be my third tarantula. I've had a Chaco Golden Knee and a Curly Hair, and both lived quite a long time. I especially loved the Curly Hair. So I do know to get a proper enclosure. I just used the bag in the picture to capture it. I just read the how to sex sticky, and it seems rump size may not be as accurate as I've read in the past? Either way, I like the proportions of this one better than the others.

Edit: Forgot to attach the important pics.

Hi. Welcome.
Can you get a photo where the carapace and abdomen can be seen clearly?

Sorry, forgot. The quality isn't great, but I hope it's good enough to get an idea.
Thanks.

it looks like a giant wolf spider of some sort couldn't really tell you what it is

It does somewhat give the impression of that of some sort..

Not my image.

Looks wolfy to me too.

Ah okay. I haven't seen them as big as the ones here. Just moved here a few months ago. Thanks.

Here are a couple of other things to look at.

The web is in a workshop I have. I had to be away for about a month starting in July, and when I returned I found this web between the window and a fan I had next to it. I couldn't find the spider so I cleaned up the web and moved the fan farther away. Next week it had made this web spanning the larger gap. It's nicely thick and beautiful imo. What types of spiders create these thick layered webs? I know tarantulas often do but what others? You can see a dried out cricket hanging in the middle. So most likely not a tarantula in this case.

Today I was out doing some yard work and noticed this guy on the wall of my shed. I thought he was very interesting. What is he/her?

Edit: And can I get a mod to move this to a more appropriate forum heading? I'm guessing Ivert Pet Talk?? Not sure the best place for finds around the home. Thanks.

I see the same little fellas when I visit my family in Texas. I think it is a common american house spider. You just gonna see them everywhere. If I am not mistaken its a Parasteatoda tepidariorum.

Anybody know anything about the orange guy with the three dots on the back.
