Working on a talk for this week and ran across this beauty of a slightly fuzzy picture. An eriophyoid mite under SEM, nestled among plant stomata. These mites are microscopic plant parasites, often species-specific.

Day 155 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😦

They jump using hydraulic pressure! Their bodies rapidly increase the pressure in their legs, launching them forward with incredible force, sometimes reaching 6x their body length 😅 #jumpingspider #spiderfacts

Struggling to fall asleep no matter how tired you are? The missing piece could be magnesium. Magnesium helps regulate melatonin and set the stage for deep, restorative sleep. When levels run low, restless nights often follow. Are you eating enough magnesium-rich foods?

According to this they’re still medically significant, but less likely to bite humans than we thought.

They don’t want anything to do with you and will try to leave you alone.

Big fan of jumping spiders

WHAT A SPIDER!!! 🤯🤯

BEHOLD, one of the coolest arachnids in the world, the Long-horned Spiny Orb Spider (Macracantha arcuata)! 🕷😍

Found in the rainforests of SE Asia, these magnificent beasts are found usually at head-height in a web they’ve made to catch flying prey!🐞🕸️

For the first time, scientists have documented an unusual defense: Some species of arachnids build giant doppelgängers on their webs, creating a frightening deception that scares off would-be killers. https://scim.ag/487Myn0

Arachnid Megacity

Drew an amblypygi, or tailless whip scorpion. They’re sweethearts! Fully harmless to humans, and among the only arachnids to exhibit social bonds - mother/child, and even siblings, grooming each other.

Taking lil art breaks in between other projects is nice~

Looks like the Affinity suite is currently free for iPad. These are great programs and this may be the last best chance to get them in a form that isn't trash (before Canva's ominous announcement on Oct 30th). If you're interested I'd jump on this quick.
