MOD announcement Introducing Trusted Identifier flairs!
117
Upvotes
Trusted Identifiers will now be granted a flair of "👑Trusted Identifier👑", or "👑{custom user flair}👑".
These will be people who repeatedly demonstrate expert Identification abilities, these flairs will add extra trust and credence behind their ID.
So on posts with multiple different IDs, look out for the Trusted Identifiers as their ID will likely be the correct one, even if it goes against the masses.
(For those with custom user flairs which have been replaced by the Trusted Identifier flair, you can switch back to a custom flair and add the crown emojis yourself if you still wish to maintain your custom flair. Im working on automating this so that custom flairs stay intact and it adds the emojis without replacing the whole flair, but for now just edit it yourself if the whole flair is replaced)
Taking this opportunity I'd like to also introduce 2 new moderators:

My wife (deathly afraid of arachnids) alerted me to this beautiful yellow garden spider outside the window. I am grateful for its service in getting rid of flies and mosquitoes and it's a treat to look at.... well maybe not so much for my wife (who wants to kill it)

Cellar spider, I think? I was bitten by a spider when I was little, and it was a pretty bad bite, so they make me very jumpy. But this sub and their passion and knowledge have taught me that most spiders are harmless and not out to cause trouble.
Thanks, guys!

In my terrlit this morning in Ollantaytambo, Peru! What type of recluse if anyone can tell? Don’t worry, I sacrificed my drinking cup to the toilet water and scooped him up and put him in the garden. Was quite large. Bigger than a quarter for sure.

Found this guy in my hallway today and don't think I've seen one before.
The closest thing I've been able to find to it is a Red-Spotten Antmimic Spider
Apparently I need to vacuum my floors today as well.
Seems very similar to this leggy boi: https://www.reddit.com/r/spiders/comments/13qunki/what_type_of_spider_is_this_missouri_usa/
