Get ready for spiders! This is our 17th year celebrating #Arachtober. Join us by sharing your photos of #spiders and other #arachnids. #Arachtober has spread around the web on different platforms, each with its own unique feel. Interacting with arachnologists and scientists on Twitter was so much fun and educational. Hopefully Mastodon is even better.

@Arachtober funny, I just took some photos of a spider today. I visited Georgia and the invasive Joro spiders are everywhere!! They're really pretty but have messy webs.
@Jennifer Nice find. Though it would be nice if they weren't here to find. They haven't reached down here in South Texas yet so I haven't seen one. Yet.
@Arachtober I live pretty close to Georgia and haven't seen any here yet. I was shocked at how many I saw.
