Id these spiders if you dare...

Love the animal ID posts... Lets test your knowledge of Spiders... Disclaimer: Thankfully not all of these are found in the Northeastern US of A!!!! 

 

This grouping, are commonly confused.  One is deadly, one not quite so deadly but close, the rest - not so much although freaky as hell.

Some more - this grouping all live in the US a few are deadly or near-deadly, most are harmless. A few are "arachnids" and not really "Spiders".

This final grouping, are the ones that I will NEVER EVER set foot on soil where they exist... Sorry - these are well beyond my capacity to deal, and are in fact amont the world's deadliest.   Thankfully - not residing in the good ol' US of A as far as I know (and if anyone knows that they might be - please don't tell me).

Yellow Garden Spider, Black Widow, Crab Spider, Maybe some kind of a mite?, Daddy Long Leg, Dog Tick, Yellow Garden Spider, Jumping Spider, Orb Weaver and I don't know the last one.

They most likely live in Australia.

Simple: first one is Dead Spider.  2nd one is Dead Spider # 2.  3rd spider is Dead Spider # 3 and so on.

I'll add 1 more for IDing, but I don't have a picture and I have not been able to figure it out myself.

 

I don't kill spiders.  If they're in the house I take them outside.  Except for this one time.  

 

I was siding our house and there was a large brown spider, the size of a large wolf spider, with a triangular abdomen on the side of the house.  I went to brush it on to my hand to relocate it and as I got close it raised up it's front legs and stuck out the biggest shiniest black fangs I have ever seen.  I realized brushing it onto my hand was probably not the wisest thing to do with this cute little guy so I got a small shovel to brush it on to.  As I brought the shovel up to the spider, the stinking thing jumped off the wall with it's fangs bared and grabbed the shovel and slammed it's fangs into the shovel.  

 

Needless to say, I immediately proceeded to stomp that thing into something that no longer resembled a living creature.  To this day I can not figure out what kind of spider it was, and I REALLY want to know.

It was probably a Wolf Spider. I have seen them go after kittens that were trying to play with them. They are aggressive when pissed off.

no but close, yes, yes, no - many will get that one, it's a south jersey thing, yes, no but close it's a deer tick, yes, yes, yes, and that last one I seen in trees in Fort Lauderdale.

Wolf spiders?

 

There is a wolf in there - you gotta ID him/her... The rest in that common grouping are NOT wolf spiders

That's what I assumed, but the triangular abdomen is unlike any wolf spider that I have seen.

I hate spiders.  But I am a Spiderman fan.

One does not.  Actually one of those Aussie spiders is huge, but not deadly.
