Above: The notorious Black Widow, Latrodectus mactans is one of the few spiders harmful to humans.

Welcome to Nick Loven's web site dedicated to pictures and photographs of North American spiders. Most of these pictures were taken by me during a holiday to America in August 2000. Others were sent to me by readers of this site.

I made this site to help people who wish to learn more about spiders or are trying to identify a spider that they have seen.

If you're looking to identify a spider, try looking in the 'Spiders by family' page.

None of the spiders featured on my page are harmful to humans unless stated otherwise.

This site is updated as often as I can so please come back soon!
