Squirrels today! There are actually a lot of rodents that qualify as squirrels. The ones in the following picture are from all over. Although I've mostly focused on squirrels that people are familiar with, like the grey squirrel and red squirrel, you should know that animals such as marmots, ground squirrels, prairie dogs and chimpunks are all in the same family. Still, if I was featuring those, they'd definitely get their own post.

And as for the spider:

Here it is!

This is Habronattus Virgulatus, and there's not much information about it avaliable. I can tell you it lives in the US, generally around the South, and isn't a very well photographed spider (which is a real shame, it's strangely pretty!). The ones in the pictures you see here are all males, too.
