I’ve discovered a few weird looking spiders recently..in the houseim terrified of them..how do I post a picture of them?
Ask that question of the site administrator at – https://spiderid.com/contact/
Thank you for the photo! Did it require a microscope to ID her or could it be done by visible features?
Almost all spider identifications are made with the aid of a dissection microscope or strong magnifying glass in order to see the determining characteristics. In this case, most of the local araneomorph identifications are made for me by Dr. Robb Bennett with the Royal BC Museum as part of our ongoing field studies.
In the top right of the web page, there’s a button that says submit. When you click on it, you can then choose a file from your computer to submit it here and also provide written details about the spider. If this doesn’t work for you, then you might be having a technical problem which you should take up with the admin.
