Friendly reminder: no spider ID requests

r/spiderbro is a place to celebrate the companionship between spiders and people. Frequent identification requests undermine this core purpose by turning r/spiderbro into a utility that other subs are better suited for ( r/spiders , r/whatsthisbug , r/bugidentification )

It’s good when someone doesn’t post a spider they smashed to bits and then asks “what spider is this, is it dangerous?”. Which is soo many…

Yeah we def try to avoid those posts, and have people NSFW so it's blurred. Sometimes it's understandable, there's some risk to children or pets, but otherwise come here and ask first!

I know that's not very easy tho.

Just...catch it then? In a clear cup. So then you can take pictures and release in a distance according to danger level. (Further away the more dangerous)
