      Difficult to tell on account of your blurry photos.

      However, Poland only has three venomous spider species, and even their bites are approximate to a wasp sting. Non-threat unless you’re allergic.

    2. Hard to tell, but it is some kind of skakun, probably skakun srebrzysty. They’re harmless to humans. They’re jumping spiders, so they don’t build nets.

      Edit

      Other user pointed to rozciągnik mchuś – looks very similar 🙂

    3. It’s a Jumping spider, Dendrophantes I think, There are lots of them here–they are cute, aware of their surroundings and excellent pest control against smaller bugs in the house. Congratulations on your new pet.

    4. I know nothing about local creepy crawlies, but I have to admit—after just five minutes of research, I’m thoroughly enjoying some of the Polish naming conventions. As a native speaker, I have to say—they sound like someone was naming something absolutely adorable and beloved.

      This one looks like a female Gorguś kruszcowy. Not quite as elegant as Strojniś nadobny, but definitely more appealing than Zyzuś tłuścioch.

      Skakun! These are spider equivalent of cute dogs. They are intelligent and cute as heck, they are completely harmless, in fact – they are keeping nasty stuff in control. Cherish them

    6. Some kind of jumping spider. They’re the most intelligent and peacefull spiders on earth. They don’t weave webs but actively hunts for insects. That’s what make them great pets., because they are way more active than other spiders.

      He’s a jumping spider, they are very friendly and intelligent. You can even teach them simple tricks. befriend him unless his name is Bartek. Bartek is an asshole.

      Marpissa muscosa – Fencepost Jumping Spider. Not medically significant to humans, so nothing to worry about

    9. Since you are posting on r/Poland I’m assuming you met him in Poland. We don’t have dangerous or poisonous spiders so anything you meet will be harmless.
