ID request (Phoenix area) ( lemmy.sdf.org )
In this corner, we've had a large female widow for a year or so, but haven't seen her in a couple weeks. There are a few Pholcidae around, but this looks different. Maybe 10-12mm long legspan.

I've been watching this guy for a couple weeks now, he's visibly growing, which is cool to see, I've never observed one specific spider over a period of time

Context: some days ago, I commented in a topic about Argiope bruennichi that I had a similar spider living on my kumquat tree, later identified to be Argiope argentata. And @quinacridone asked for an update, if she laid eggs....

A Garden Helper ( lemmy.world )
Some kind of beautiful black widow, probably a Northern. Built her web on a bag of potting soil, so I had to scrooch her along. Absolutely gorgeous and huge! She was definitely well fed

Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.
