ID request / I included my location! Anyone know what type of arachnid this is?
I never kill spiders I catch them and release safely where they can hunt.

See the rules in the sidebar, also.
If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:
Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

Just spotted outside by my front door. The body is nearly an inch long. I'm pretty sure it's a Rabidosa rabida. But everything I'm seeing about where they can be found says Maine to Florida, and west to Texas. I'm in southern California - San Bernardino county. Have they spread this far west? Or was Google Lens wrong on the ID?

Photo taken in Miranda State, Venezuela where Tityus Scorpions are endemic.
Edit: I'm not completely sure, but very inclined to think it is a Tityus. If it is, I would like to know what especies is.

This was found in a restaurant setting, and the cleaner sent me these pictures after they had dispatched it out of fear. Any medical significance? Thanks for your expertise!

Did you know you’re sharing your bed with thousands of tiny arachnids? 🧹
Quinten Geldhof, also known as Microhobbyist, shows how a single spider can produce up to seven different types of silk, each with its own job. Sturdy dragline silk builds the web’s frame, while sticky blobs of silk set the trap for prey. Pound for pound, it’s up to five times stronger than steel, and a strand long enough to circle the Earth would weigh just 4.4 pounds! What would you use spider silk for?

TIL Male Daddy Long Legs (these are harvestman) have a penis that extends from their underside and transfers sperm directly into the female. Males also produce a liquid secretion (the goo you’re seeing between them) called a nuptial gift. The female may consume this secretion during courtship or mating.

Thought this was glistening a cluster of seeds in my garden during the spring of the pandemic. Until I touched it, and they scattered! I still have a healthy population of them now.
