@plasma-sky submitted: Hi there! I was hoping you could help me identify this little cutie? I see some of them find their way indoors from time to time. But I've never been sure what kind of spider they were. Found in [removed]. (But could the location be removed please? :D)
Thank you! I love your blog by the way. So many cute bugs!
Hello! Thank you! This lil friend is a wall crab spider in the genus Selenops :)
@markedpoint submitted: I have a guest in my room! she seems happy enough hiding behind my indoor tv antenna
She’s a he! Great big pedipalps. Please tell him I love him :)
@markedpoint submitted: These two were found in southeast florida, a dead scarab found while walking through nearby pineland and a little quarter sized spider on my porch ceiling. Loving the red color of the beetle and have seen several of the spider but am struggling with id. Thank you!
RIP to the beetle friend! I hope they lived a nice beetle life :) I believe they are a splendid ox beetle and the spider is a wall crab spider in the genus Selenops, most likely Selenops submaculosus.

@roses-n-glitter submitted: I live in Port St Lucie Florida and I just found this little guy upside down freaking out on our kitchen counter. I have no idea where it came from but i took it outside, and it just sat there almost like it was either traumatized or playing dead, it kept its legs tucked in. It was about the size of a toddler’s pinky tip? Unfortunately these are the best photos I could take. Would love to know what type they are! 🕷❤️
Looks like a wall crab spider in Selenopidae family, probably the Selenops genus. It’s possible it was very close to death and that’s why it was acting strangely. Hopefully it recovered, but if not, such is life!
Araña Selenops. ¿Protegiendose, cazando, durmiendo, esperando o todo a la vez? ¡Maravillosa esa capacidad de camuflaje! #quimicus #nikon #arañas #spiders #Selenops #camuflaje #naturephotograpy #naturaleza #nature #ixtapa #ixtapazihuatanejo (en Ciclopista de Ixtapa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3jvxZh9Ac/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18n66r8s38rs9
Skydiving spiders? Talk about evolutionary adaptation.
Some spiders that live high up in the forest canopy could fall and die. But amazingly, some have evolved the ability to skydive, helped by their flattened morphology. The image above is of the genus Selenops in the Family Selenopidae, large spiders often called wall crab spiders, or more simply, called flatties. Read more here about their “directed aerial decent” and see a video.
