Tarantulas & Jumping Spiders

🕷 Submissions are accepted! Please only submit spiders. This is just a spider page, not ALL arachnids (like scorpions). Spiders only.

🕷 You can submit spiders for the weekly/daily spider or even Tarantula Tuesdays & Thursdays, just make sure to add what kind of spider it is or photo link so I can research the spider.

🕷 Please add a photo for any submissions if you can – this is not a requirement, but a preference.

🕷 Asks are limited to 5 per day, per person. Topics for asks must be spider-related. If I don't have an answer for your question(s), I will direct you to a site or individual who can better answer the question(s).

🕷 If you submit a photo of a spider, please make sure it's REAL and not AI. This is an appreciation page for real-life spiders. Also, no dead spider photos please.

🕷 Once a week I will attempt to find spider merch and promote it. If you know of someone or a place that makes spider merch please send the information in an ask or a PM. Spider merch posts will be the only time I post any fake spider stuff.

🕷 Video submissions are allowed, as long as they stay on topic (i.e. spiders)
