1½ minutes worth of Brown Creeper lad, creeping 🥹

I'd seen a grand total of one (1) adult male Attidops cinctipes before this afternoon, in which I lost count at a dozen 🤎

A man with a hat and sunglasses stands in hero-pose with his biology is bigger than binaires shirt (orange)

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!

Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

More wasps from Sichuan! This time we describe a new rose gall found on a protected endemic rose from China. We named the gall wasp Diplolepis nezha and its ichneumonid parasitoid Orthopelma aobing, after characters from the Chinese legend/popular animated film.

Shiny dark red jumping spider with a white mustache, raised on his legs a bit, peering curiously slightly to left of frame

Also we have Mr Colonus sylvanus, a common but very pretty sight, being very perky on a handrail this afternoon ❤️

Tiny amber jumping spider, with a tiny grey smack of some kind, peering at you as she eats deep in leaf litter

Miniscule Ms Neonella vinnula (~1.5mm long), with an even more miniscule snack 🧡

Theoretically there's a certain amount of pseudoscorpions which could take down a mammal, that's what I've learned here

I'm still shook by this, it's like 5 mice taking down a lion, but the lion can fly 😳

Have you seen my encounter with Paratemnoides taking down a live yellow jacket

Slender dark bluish shiny wasp with her booty in the air terminated with a black feathery ovipositor thingie, running the length of a dry pine needle

There's still silly mopey wasps roaming the leaf litter and grass, in October. 🖤
Ms Eupelmus here with her booty feather is looking for some quarry or another in dry pine needles.

Large fuzzy black and white jumping spider with bright green chelicerae, on grumpy salticid posture (legs tight around him like cat loaf), on the tip of a stick peering at you

Grumpy boi (why is my stick moving, I didn't ask the stick to move)

thank you sour cream pound cake

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Habronattus don't want any part of the camera in my experience, as a rule, but yeah most other salticids are often quite curious about the lens

Cabbage boiled in vinegar. It's not that weird, but still.

Boiled cabbage used to be one of the only veggies we'd have fresh as a kid, and I loved it.

As a Jaguars fan I don't know if this should be injected into my veins but YOLOOOOOOOO

Magnificent white-banded crab spider lass, perched on a white flower smaller than she is. She's light pink and white

Magnificent pale white and pink crab spider on a cluster of purple chaffhead flowers, her large front leg pairs spread wide like bird wings

Close shot of two of her little feet, with 2 tiny claws on each

Even closer shot of one foot

Crab, and crab peets 🥹
One of our most stunning crab spider species (Misumenoides formosipes) is very large and pretty chill, and that makes getting shots of their little feet a bit easier.
