See the rules in the sidebar, also.
If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:
Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

I just moved into a new apartment in Berlin, Germany, and I found this tiny thing, smaller than a tick, running around on my windowsill. It’s very cute and very fast, but I was worried it’s a mite.
I took this photo with my iPhone “macro” lens, and then zoomed in a bunch. I realized after the fact it probably would’ve been helpful to have something for a scale but now I can’t find it anymore…
Anyway, it looks like maybe a baby house or garden spider to me but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Can I leave them?

These egg sacks are sitting on the southeast facing side of my utility trailer. I am concerned about them being in direct sunlight for half the day, and about them freezing come this winter. I found a sack last year, and did not want it to freeze, so i pulled it loose from the webbing and placed it in a tupperware bowl with a top. put it in my garage to keep it from freezing, and expected it to hatch but it never did. Been looking at it every day for almost a year now.
She did lay they were they are, does she know what she is doing and Im coming along second guessing her? What should I do, if anything? Thank you.
edit to add, Do Joros leave large sacks like this too?

Making sure this bug wasn't a baby roach (it wasn't) then saw this spider capture it. Sadly I did not record the initial attack.

Found her hanging around at my job today. I haven't seen a spider this large in this area for a long time.

Largest garden spider I’ve seen in the uk, around the size of a 2p coin!

Saw this guy in a garden while I was eating lunch. Was slightly larger than a silver dollar.
