Saw this guy running up on a wall. Never seen this shape before. Can you help ID it? (Eastern Europe)

He now continues his search for love outside.

About 1cm. Spotted in Albany, on a rocky beach, but it could have traveled on my caravan from Greece to Albany.
When I moved my phone closer he (she?) tried to jump against it.

Ignore the dirty window lol. Had them in our house for over a week in that spot now, but this is the first time they turned around. I find the legs mesmerizing

Hi everyone, first post here,
I'm in Dublin, Ireland. I rescued one of them from a box that was about the get shredded and the other from the laundry before my wife killed her.
I then added them to my terrarium.
The one from the box was in a bad shape, with a broken leg, which has since detached and it was very lethargic, it is now a happy and fat spider after eating a couple of flies.
The other went through a molt already!
They are small ish, around 4 cm legspan? And the abdomen pattern is one of the most gorgeous I've seen! Golden spots.
Can you help me ID them? Also, are they female? Or are they the male of a the giant house spider?

I've been watching this guy for a couple weeks now, he's visibly growing, which is cool to see, I've never observed one specific spider over a period of time

This big guy has been on my back porch for 6 months, in Connecticut. Please help me identify him!

[Arkansas, USA] Seeing as most people aren't fans of spiders, it's nice having a community where we all appreciate the beauty of our tiny friends. This is a loxosceles reclusa that was so kind to pose for some photos. She was released afterwards. She's a superstar!!
