I finally got an accurate ID on this species. It's a Spotted Wolf Spider!
Currently they're basking on a dead tree branch we have propped against the fence.
Just stay away from the house please guys, you move very fast and I'm a little bit scared of you.

New Tattoo Thursday! A few weeks ago I got this incredible tattoo on my left upper thigh from Savannah @ @kenoshatattoocompany . He’s inspired by one of the main characters in the Amazon Prime show Hazbin Hotel, Angel Dust. Angel Dust is a character that resonates with me on so many levels. I know it’s ironic that someone with arachnophobia got a spider tattooed forever, but I also like to think I’m brave & face my fears head-on.

New research from the Hebets Lab at University of Nebraska Lincoln: _Agelenopsis_ grass spiders in noisy urban environments weave webs with built-in noise dampening—as opposed to their rural cousins, who built more sensitive webs when researchers turned up the volume.
From the NYT article linked below:
> “While animal sensory systems can, and do, certainly adapt over evolutionary time to changing environmental conditions, this takes time,” Dr. Hebets said. “Behavioral changes, however, can be immediate.”
This offers an intriguing tangent: webs are part of a spider's sensory apparatus but are constantly re-built, and behavioural plasticity lets them "evolve" much faster—an evolution you can't track by looking at physical traits alone.
Anecdotally, _Agelenopsis_ are masters at adapting their flat sheet webs to even the unlikeliest urban environments! So it's not a surprise they are adaptable in other ways as well.

In #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav tonight, the level 3 party knew they were going to the ratfolk warren to fight invasive giant black widow #spiders. They used four scrolls of delay poison and took anti-venom along for everyone.
The giant black widows were squeezing (-4 attack, -4 AC) in the narrow warren tunnels and didn't even score a hit on the party as they were mopped up.
Oh well, the ratfolk community will still pay them on the agreed terms.

In Ghana 
when posters can't be imported, local artists will bootleg them to the best of their abilities. Some often are more imaginative than the official studio releases.

Banded Huntsman Spider (Genus Holconia) spotted on a wall of an outhouse in the very remote Macquarie Marshes region of NSW. Beautiful markings on what I assume to be a female - which was about the size of my hand. Left undisturbed and unharmed.

Little-humped spiders have reached Oxford! #iNaturalist user flamingtofunz posted a photo yesterday.
This Australian spider was found in NZ in 2016 in #Christchurch and has spread southeast (Little River by 2022), south (Leeston by 2024), north (Pegasus by 2024), and now northwest to Oxford.
It's a small, distinctive social spider. A few 100 spiders work together to build large messy webs that catch a lot of insects.
