Spiders are our friends, not the vile, eight-legged monsters they have been demonized to be. Share your favorite photos of spiders and arachnids here (yes, daddy-long-legs or order Opiliones are welcome, too).

  1. Be respectful to each other, try not to get into petty arguments. Basically, DBAA.
  2. It's okay to still be scared of spiders, but always turn your fear into a learning experience. Please no comments about "Getting out the flamethrower" or describing "How disgusting" a spider looks. That's just disrespectful!

Very nice, I've never heard "crowned orb weaver" before. But it does make sense. Araneus diadematus, with the species name coming from "diadem", the word for a crown.
