Spiders in the animal atlas
Reptiles.ge is adding spider profiles using the same evidence rules as the rest of the atlas: named sources, no invented regional maps.
Country occurrence here rests on Otto 2022’s Caucasian spiders database and the Ilia State University biodiversity database. This hub is not a substitute for the 659-species national checklist.
Catalog
4 spiders in the atlas
Each profile states whether the species is confirmed in Georgia — and what remains unmapped.

Profiles published so far. Absence from this list does not mean the species is absent from Georgia.

Each category gathers related species on one guide page — then sends you to the full profile.
FAQ
What people ask about spiders here
Short answers — depth lives on profiles.
No. This hub publishes individual species pages as they are written. Otto 2022 remains the reference for the full fauna.
Four profiles: the wasp spider, the lobed argiope, the false black widow, and the Mediterranean black widow (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus). The list is growing.
Spider pages use the same species-profile structure. They are part of the animal atlas of Georgia, not a complete national arachnofauna list.
Only when a profile has named regional records. The wasp spider, lobed argiope, false black widow, and Mediterranean black widow pages colour regions from named localities.
No. Watch. Argiope is not a medical risk to people; a false-widow bite can hurt; a karakurt bite is medically significant. Do not pick up wild spiders. If bitten, call 112.
