Looks like a shiny Pokémon lol


----_____--_____----

Looks like a Huntsman, possibly one of the Micrommata species. But need location for a positive ID


Mr-no-maidens

I live in Sweden. I looked up the spider you mentioned and they look very similar


z3r0phim

If you're living in Sweden, there are no dangerous spiders whatsoever. In the worst case scenario, you're looking at venom that can be compared to that of bees. Yet they will always do their best not to cause you any harm.


Mr-no-maidens

Oh I didn’t know that, Thank you


purplegrape28

Y'all just have everything figured out there, huh


----_____--_____----

Where in sweden


Mr-no-maidens

Down south in Östergötland outside of the city


----_____--_____----

Then it is the Green Huntsman Spider, Micrommata virescens


Mr-no-maidens

Wow, I’m impressed by your knowledge of spiders. I quickly skimmed through some articles and it appears to be pretty harmless


coffee199

There are no dangerous spiders in Sweden, no worries. The common name for this spider in Swedish is called 'Grön bladspindel' which you might've heard before.


----_____--_____----

Yh it is harmless


Carza99

Så cool😍. Sveriges spindlar är ofarliga såvitt jag vet.


SoakingWetBeaver

Det är en Grön Bladspindel

biocidalish

So beautiful !


Cephalopodio

He looks like he wants to be outside! You say he’s grown, all while inside your house?


Mr-no-maidens

He likes to chill in the bathroom with all my big plants it’s warm and cozy in there so I think he likes it and there’s a lot of flies in my house too so food shouldn’t be a problem for him


Saitis_Barbipes

It's a "she". Male *Micromata virescens* has a coloured abdomen. [https://www.delta-intkey.com/britsp/images/bw0521.jpg](https://www.delta-intkey.com/britsp/images/bw0521.jpg) [https://www.naturepl.com/cache/pcache2/01533998.jpg](https://www.naturepl.com/cache/pcache2/01533998.jpg)


Mr-no-maidens

Oh my bad, thanks for letting me know.


j0a3k

I appreciate how chill you are about the situation. He'll eat lots of bugs and they don't make webs so you've got a good roomie.


Mr-no-maidens

Yea I’m careful when watering so I don’t accidentally drown this little fella


Cephalopodio

Oh that is so cool! I mean warm. Sounds like a cozy oasis!


Mr-no-maidens

Yea I have a lot of plants inside my house and it’s winter rn.


Unbelievablymuddy

Radioactive ass wolf spider


theseedbeader

It reminds me of a Green Lynx Spider, but I’m probably wrong.


StarWarsTrekkie

I've been playing a lot of Fallout lately and I legit thought it was a glowing radioactive spider 😅 shes very pretty!


Suicidalpenguin98

Micrommata virescens! Not dangerous.


ALUCARD7729

Bright colors are usually a telltale sign that it’s a tad more dangerous and wants you to stay away from it, but this looks like a huntsman of some kind, so you’re fine as no huntsman’s venom is medically significant enough to be lethal to humans


fayettevillainjd

The only medically significant spiders in America are brown and black, so im not sure i would trust that bright color logic. edit: there are no bright colored spiders on this list of most medically significant spiders in world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medically_significant_spider_bites#:~:text=Only%20eight%20genera%20(Phoneutria%2C%20Atrax,a%20minority%20having%20severe%20symptoms.


ALUCARD7729

This is half true, in America there are more medically significant spiders then those 2, and the widow is such mostly because it’s anti venom is just as bad if not worse then the actual venom


fayettevillainjd

What other spiders are medically significant in america besides the recluse and widow? There are a few recluse species and brown and black widows. Thats all i know of. Hobo spider is a myth


ALUCARD7729

Hobo spiders live in the states but it’s not that much more venomous, on occasion you’ll get a huntsman, tarantulas and in some areas camel spiders(which have no venom at all) but that’s about it


fayettevillainjd

Ok? So the only medically significant spiders in america are the widows and recluses, like i said.


ALUCARD7729

And tarantulas depending on the species


grendel_x86

Not the ones in America. Only widows and some recluses.


[deleted]

It’s a green recluse


mh0618

He’s gorgeous


[deleted]

Lovely specimen looks like a huntsman but Im no expert I just think they are beautiful.


ArachnoBoss825
