Parasite? Mite be. 🙂 (Filed most of your images.)
The spider said having a mite really sucks. 🙂 Thank you! The Tmararus spiders are a surprise, I never considered that ID. Now I know
There’s a glitch in the Australian sightings. I keep getting the same 8 submissions looping as I try to progress through the pages. The submissions that don’t show do still register as existing in the number of pics we have for Australia. Kyle was one of the original people (site admins?) who could file photos, btw. In an early discussion you said there was a woman who could file, but she never did anything. Kyle didn’t either. Plus one other theoretical person was supposed to have server access. I don’t know if the Australia issue has anything to do with… Read more »
Nope, I didn’t get a notification for this and don’t think it’s within my power to fix that. The woman you’re referring to may have been the moderator on this site’s previous incarnation. I don’t know why she never filed anything. I’ve never had that problem on BugGuide.
Thanks. I can’t find any of the approx. 653 Australia photo submissions or conversations prior to about Feb. 6. At least we have the ones that were filed. The bulk appear to have been deleted or transferred. Do you have a “trash” file for the site? Is there any routine archiving? The filing of the great Austracantha minax pics to the Australia file was around then. Maybe they were transferred accidentally to a new file with a new title? That could be found by searching your hard drive file listing.
I don’t have anything to do with site maintenance outside of IDing spiders and keeping trolls in check. I don’t mess around with that stuff because I don’t know how it works and don’t want to make things worse. Something on Kyle’s end probably needs to be updated. I’ve used google a few times to work around the broken search bar here, the Australia images seem to still be here (this link has “firefox” in it, I don’t know if it will work for you if you are using something else): https://www.google.com/search?q=site:spiderid.com+australia&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiM-52a78nnAhUkhOAKHXV1D-MQ_AUoA3oECAsQBQ If that link doesn’t work for you or… Read more »
Thanks! That does work as a way to get around it and the submissions still seem to exist. I didn’t know that our unfiled submissions can be googled by country. I tried a bunch of ways, I’ll try it without Firefox next. The page advance just doesn’t work though the page numbers change. I tried advancing australia’s pages of submissions in Firefox, Google Chrome (Android), and Safari (Apple) It doesn’t work in any browser. The interesting thing I learned was how different the site looks in different web browsers. The photos seem largest and clearest in Firefox, worst in Chrome.… Read more »
South Africa is doing the same thing as the Australia listings, only the newest page of submissions is showing.

Got it.
Sosippus sp?
Tigrosa aspersa if the location fits.
Thanks! Close enough, the states surrounding MS have had sightings.
Please delete all posts on this thread. https://spiderid.com/picture/100863/ Hope you are well. 🙂
Thanks, I’m OK-ish. My daily routine has been thrown into a blender though! Hope you’re doing well too.
I’m glad you’re healthy. 🙂 This doesn’t affect me as much as other people. I have no kids and no paid career. For me the only real change is that my feet are my only form of transportation now because I can’t drive and my husband is working a lot, covering his co-workers’ shifts. The rest of the world has actually changed over to my routine lifestyle. It took me years to get accustomed to this way of living, I understand how disconcerting it is.
In theory this shouldn’t affect my habits because I enjoy being a hermit. It does a lot though because with everyone home I’m never alone to recharge now and that’s mentally exhausting for me. There’s always someone to feed, or entertain, or cleanup after, and we need to keep up to date with the news everyday as things constantly change. The moment I sit down at my computer my kid nags me to let him on it, and sometimes I have no choice but to let him because it’s school work related and his other devices won’t run/open whatever it… Read more »
I know what you mean, Hubby and I are introverts who get exhausted by noise and people. We suffer through watching the news together. You live near the US main NY/CT/MA epicenter too. I live next to the MA border. I hate that my husband got deemed “essential” (for his employer to make big profits because the other stores are closed), he has asthma and people go to the store where he works for socializing and casual shopping. He worked 65 hours this week. My recharge escapes from my yard are to cemeteries to do quiet volunteer GPS tagging work.… Read more »
NJ has been #2 in cases and deaths for a while, I’m a bit south of the worst of it… I can’t really trust the info. though when testing isn’t easy to access. My husband was considered essential for a while but that changed which was a relief for him. 65 hours… that sounds awful.
I’m glad NJ has the mandatory mask law for public buildings now. I would like to see every state do that. New Hampshire required all hotels and other lodging rentals to close to decrease the number of people from the sicker states to the south that come here to escape it. Spring is also a major tourism time in our Lakes Region. I know lots of great nature spots that tourists don’t want to go to, so I’m all set. 🙂
So many people haven’t been covering their faces here, cashiers in particular. We went for a bike ride through the woods yesterday – there were a lot of people out and we saw only one other person besides ourselves wearing a mask, I felt like we were the only ones making a real effort to swerve off to the side when passing others. Passed a large-ish group of teen aged boys who were all clumped together and obviously not related hogging the center of the trail. I don’t think we’ll do that again. I just read that all of our… Read more »
Yes, the Appalachian Mountain Club had to close all of their huts and lodges and our beaches are closed. Some local parks had to close. I’ve never seen cemeteries so full of living people. My husband says exercise trails are too packed. My neighborhood has a lot of careful, anxious-type of people and everyone is avoiding each other by at least 10 feet. I could take a City Bus that will pick me up wherever I want and take me alone wherever I want in the City for a dollar. It’s an incredible deal for taxi service, but there are… Read more »
Heyy ItsyBitsy hope your staying safe and I hope you can take a quick looks at the pictures I posted. They’re mine this time I promise.
OK, you too. Stuck on a phone at the moment, taking your word for it and filed them.
https://spiderid.com/picture/102474/ Please follow the user pic thread to the bottom, not everyone is using personal protective equipment. 🙁
I hope you found a quiet place. I tried yet another cemetery to be alone to work and there were other people there doing online headstone data input in the same little area I picked. Grocery shopping is exhausting though # of shoppers is limited. We have to follow a one-way path through the store. It just takes longer because one must do loops to backtrack to items that were missed. The good news is that it isn’t mandatory here, but at least half of the people in the store had homemade masks. One couple each had one cup of… Read more »
What about that guy with the inappropriate picture as his profile picture?
The account should be gone. The administrator here hasn’t had time to work on this site in a while, a lot of stuff needs to be updated. That account was offensive enough though that I thought (hoped) he might make the time to remove it if I let him know.
Ok good because that was just wow and rude. I hope me an you are ok and I wanna start over. You can call me Damian.
I thought you were a chick (a dame) until I saw you holding a spider in a photo, then I was really confused! Hello Damian, I’m Carrie, (Tangledweb) .
Nice to meet you Carrie
I’m glad i’m a real help here.
I figured you were a he but only because there used to be an active member on the old version of this site who also had “Dame” in his screen name so I kept thinking of that, in his case it was his surname though.
Lol yea its ok. I hope you can look after my comments and stuff.
Ayai, you’re right. Thanks. I forwarded it to admin… should be gone.
Thx so much and I am really sorry about the other pictures. I never meant any harm and I will never do it again.
I’ve been here for a while helping people out. I have been studying spiders for almost 1 year now and getting better. Most of my answers on here are correct. Some of em I had the wrong idea but I learned.
OK. Have fun then. No worries. If I find the time I’ll go through some of them, if you start getting notifications because I’ve made corrections it’s just to let you know what they are.
Thank you very much I appreciate it 🙂
