This was identified to be a rabidosa due to its morphology of the brown and black stripes. It was found on a trail in a forest in leaf litter/tall grass area.
I knew when I first saw this spider that it was an orbweaver due to its web. After googling and comparing an identification guide I determined that this is a spotted orbweaver
Pumpkin spider
Linyphiidae family
I found this spider on the ceiling of my room one day on accident. I managed to catch it and released it into my window sill later. It had no web as far as I could tell. I believe it falls under the theridiidae family because of its eye pattern, which was hard to photograph because the spider kept moving around
I found this spider on the ceiling of a stairwell in my dorm building. I noticed it about a week prior to catching it, but when I finally went to catch it the spider seemed like it had not moved at all. Once it was in the petri dish it would not stop running around. I believe it is a sac spider partially because of the eye pattern but mostly because it looks like some of the pictures I found of other sac spiders on google when I was trying to identify it initially
Found in branch of tree by pond. I believe it to be a pholicidae because of the long legs and elongated body
Found in branch of tree near lake. I believe it to be gnaphosidae because of the dark color
found in forest, web between wild grasses. I think this is a banded garden spider due to the coloration on its opisthosoma, and how it was resting on its web.
Found walking down a tree on the south side of the UNL library. Classification from the eye formation and color.
Found tucked under the edge of the driver-side window of a car. Classification from the eye formation and patter on the opisthosoma. Found on the 21st of October. As of the 24th of October, it's still living in my car. Its size makes me believe that it is a younger example of the species.
Believe it to be genus Philippus due to distinctive hairs and green mustache
Observation #16: I think this is a crab spider, or in the family thomisidae, because its two legs are longer than the others.
Observation #13: I think it is in the Lycosidae family because is hairy and has a striped leg pattern.
Observation #12: I think this is apart of the Pholcidea family or a cellar spider. I think this because of its long legs but it still has two distinct body parts.
Distinct elongated shape
Distinctive pattern, eye arrangement.
