Spiders.us recommends a number of resources to aid in your spider identification efforts. At one point, Spiders.us hosted a public discussion forum that allowed the public to submit pictures for identification. We decided to close this indefinitely because identification services were taking up all of our time and we couldn’t focus on our creation of new articles.
Basics of Spider Identification
The first step to spider identification is understanding the process. Our flagship guide provides an overview of how spiders are identified.
Our Facebook Community
Our Facebook community welcomes public picture submissions for identification. Our staff or other fans of Spiders.us will help identify your picture.
