Achaearanea tepidariorum

This pea-sized, non-hazardous relative of black widow spiders is excellent for beginning spider watchers and is also very popular for embryology and developmental studies.

Larinioides cornutus

Orbweavers are frequently used to investigate very subtle and non-lethal short and long-term effects of chemicals on behavior. Web building experiments and science projects are relatively easy, do not require detailed knowledge of spiders and can produce impressive and thought-provoking results.

Agelenopsis aperta

This is our largest funnelweb weaver, which excellent for observational studies and lessons since it easy to observe and will make webs, feed and mate readily in captivity. It is also large enough for use in teaching anatomy and dissection.

Physocyclus mexicanus

This relatively large and leggy cellar spider is quasi-social, often found in large and dense colonies or family groups in pack rat dens in deserts of the SW. It is an incredibly hardy spider that is excellent for live animal displays and observational studies.

Phidippus johnsoni
