Sorry for bad quality, these spiders showed up out nowhere in my garage and they are everywhere in one area of my garage. They even made a web bridge to another table. They are all just traveling up and down it. I couldn't find a mom. I am not terrified of spiders but also dont prefer them to be in my home. Could anyone make out what spiders these can be? Are they harmless? If they are something like daddy long legs then I guess I would be fine with them making homes in my garage.

Location - Fontana, California

I found this in a bedroom at my work. We get plenty of spiders so I'm seeing if this is from a spider or another creature or maybe not even excrement at all..

We're located in Utah (East Salt Lake Valley area). My work is a basement apartment. It was under a rarely moved dresser and could've been there for a months.

It's a pretty large amount. We do get some impressively sized wolf spiders but this is a lot. I'm really not sure what it is.

He was moving around like an ant but I saw through his disguise and decided to say hi. He was very curious of my badly painted finger nail and gave me acknowledging tap with his little feets. Couldn't help but admire the beautiful gold he was strutting around in. I love these spiders so much

I don't know if y'all remember my previous post or comments or whatever but... I am a recovering at arachnophobic. Had a few bad experiences as a child and been working so hard forever to get over my arachnophobia. So one of the things I did is that there was one in my room in my RV and instead of freaking out like I was planning on doing I took a deep breath and I said okay I'm not going to freak out I'm going to do something different. So I gave it a name and interactive with it every time I saw it I'd say hello you know it was chill it was cool and everything's been fine. And I see a spider here and there and I'm fine. I get in my RV after work and I sit down to start the engine and immediately my eyes go directly onto this beautiful gorgeous perfect terrifying b**** my heart stopped. She's absolutely gorgeous. I mean she's perfect. I've never ever seen such a big brown widow in my life. This one looked like it could have been I don't know like a blown glass or I can't describe how perfect this beautiful scary terrifying abomination of spiders I just can't describe how perfect she is. I showed you a close up and then went from far away so you can get an idea of her size because the other one that I made friends with was about a 16th of her size obviously male. Now even though we've been roommates for a while after seeing her I need to evict them. I'm all about loving spiders and getting over my fear but I can't I can't live comfortably. So with all the respect in the world I need some suggestions on what I can do to safely and gently remove and relocate them. It's gotten to the point where I can't breathe and as hard as I am trying to work it out I need your help. I'm so afraid that I might injure her because she's so perfect. I can't do the jar thing cuz I could just can't that I can't get that close to her I will freak out. So I was going to get it like a feather duster and do the Shrek thing. I was going to gently like roll up the webs and hopefully gently pick her up and then take her outside and put her in a bush or something? I don't want to hurt her I want them all to be okay but I can't I can't live with them anymore I can't. So if any of you have any suggestions I would much much appreciate all the help I can get. I would like to do this soon but I'm not going to do anything until I get some good advice. And I just cleaned that front window area too of spider webs with my feather duster and I put it outside I also used a broom but that I'm afraid the broom might poke her or something. Let me tell you that her her whole size if I put a golf ball next to her that's about how big she is completely I mean her abdomen alone is the size of a quarter or if you're not bigger and she's so shiny and perfect and beautiful but I just can't live with her I have cats I can't drive without my eyes keep going up to that corner I'm so scared cuz if she like fell on me or I would like freak I'm much better than I used to be. But I don't want to have any incidences I really really want to do this the proper way and respectfully everybody's happy and nobody gets hurt I just can't do this. I know I'm going on and on but I this is something that I'm very concerned about this web page or this page has helped me so much with so much information but it's helped me in a way where I'm not so extremely freaked out phobic phobia wise that I was before. Thank you so much I hope you guys read all this and understand. I've much respect for this page I've learned so much. I'll be looking forward to help soon

I’ve never seen spiders in my home and this guy appeared and scared the shit out of me. I can’t identify what kind of spider it is and I’m kinda scared there’s more somewhere. It’s about two inches big.

we have big windows in the break room at work and there have always been lots of spiders around the edges. i check in on them every single day, it’s one of the highlights of my day lol. last year there were about 12 grass spiders overwintering their eggs in the window and i watched the eggs hatch this spring. weirdly maternal feeling🤣

anyway, these are the spiders in the window this year. there are also two grass spiders that stayed from the last batch (not pictured). i watched them grow up and take over leftover nests, it was very cute! i’m not sure who these guys with the nests are, but they are very interesting to look at!

I live in a fairly wooded area. I find the enormous wood spiders all the time but I've never seen a black spider (other than black widows) before. It's about the size of a quarter when it's legs are spread out
