There are many Facebook pages dedicated to spiders of various kinds. Two that are relevant to our area are the American Arachnological Society Group (must join to post) and the Spiders Ohio Group (open).  If you have interesting local (Ohio) spider observations or questions, I’d suggest the Spiders Ohio Group.
