2 images of it.
We think this might be a baby Jerusalem Cricket, but doing internet searches, it looks like a small camel spider. We (our cats) have found 2 of them in our house going back about 4 months. Should we be worried? Any help is appreciated. The critter is about an inch long. Thank you for your time!

orange-brown Spider with a "face" (Spotted orbweaver spider)
by Tammi
(Norcross, GA)
This spider is round and compact, not long-legged. It is about an inch long. I could not get around to see his back, but his belly looks like it has a face on it. It is orangey-brown and black, with two white dots underneath and it looks like it is fuzzy. His web is in my backyard, there is nothing special about his location. It is spun from the wall to a bush. The web looks pretty standard, no fancy "writing" in it. I don't know anything else I can add.

Crazy spider

Look closely. This spider has taken on? the colour of the flower it's sitting on. Was out in my garden taking pictures, trying to be really creative and doing close ups, and had I not had the camera 2" from from him I don't think I'd have spotted him. Thought he was cool!
Thanks for taking the time to look at this!

lime green spider with yellow spots (Orb weaver spider)
The insect we think is a spider was sitting on a balloon at our party. It was very hot outside but there were no plants in the area it was found.

Dorm Spider
by Malyssa
(Odessa, Texas)
I found this spiderlike insect in the kitchen of my dorm. It is very odd and unlike anything I've seen in this area. Its back is furry but the rest is not. The legs look like grasshopper legs. And it rubs its two sides of fangs together when bothered. It also has a two jaws, one for each fang.

Identifying a spider/Ants in potted tree (orb web spider)
by Athena
(Portland, OR)
Photo by Athena M. Wollin
I was hoping you guys could identify this type of common garden spider. I see them all the time and would like to know what species they are. The photo is mine.
Also, I have a small tree in a pot on my balcony. It was given to me unknowingly with an ant colony nested inside. Though the winter seems to have killed a large percentage, I still see an occasional scout cruisin' around. I was wondering if there was any natural way to elliminate the remaining soldiers. Seeing as it's not a massive infestation, I don't want to invest in poisons or silly things like that (I'm a poor college student, you see).
Is the best thing to do simply to soak the soil multiple times and cast the drowned critters away?
Thanks in advance.

My daughter saw this spider outside her bedroom window and I had to go out and take a picture of it. There is a picture of it from the top. If you could help me identify it I would be greatful. I do have a picture of its underbelly but I could only upload one picture.
Thanks

DO NOT DISTURB!
The distinguishable red hourglass shape confirms this menacing monster is the Black Widow. It collects paper and leaves to make its disorganized, tangly web.

Spider(s) in my kitchen (Common House Spider)
by Eric
(GA, USA)
My house has a lot of spiders. Earlier I found a small tan spider attacking a larger dark brown one, and I'd like an ID on either or both. This scene took place in my kitchen, along the floor under the edge of my cabinets. I have a couple more pictures of the spiders from other angles - the small one was moving around a lot so there are more angles of it.
The small one seems to mostly eat larger spiders - we find lots of dead ones stuck in webs under my cabinets. Trying to determine whether it's better to kill them or leave them be. We vacuum up the webs and they reappear in a day or so.
