Tiny black gargoyle of a wasp with a bright red round booty like a cherry tomato; perched on a cluster of buds

Denethor's Wasp (Kapala floridana)

Tiny black jumping spider with orange legs and white palps, peering up at you from a twig. The sand grain is as big as his face

When in Central Florida, you find a tiny Neonella camillae. I don't make the rules 🖤

(yes that's a single sand grain on the lower right. He's SO SMOL)

I'm deeply sorry for any psychic damage this terrible joke causes

Denethor's Wasp (Kapala floridana)

Tiny stubby round brown pseudoscorpion with reddish pinchy arms, covered in sparse white setae

Another of the same species, curled up in a miniscule crevice

Similarly shaped pseudoscorpion, but does not have the white setae

Water hickory bark seems to be a happy place for some of my favorite little silly guys. The pseudoscorpions alone are worth the effort. Look at them 🥹 all 3 of these together could fit in a single sesame seed.

Perky face of the lad, who's perched on a dry oak leaf

Love how Habronattus decorus boys turned down the fancy legs/faces and floof of many of their genus cousins, and went with a classic black color scheme but highlighted by a brilliant shiny magenta ass. 🩷 Saw a couple of these boys today, no blending in with the leaf litter.

Nugget wasps, full of 1000:1 scale models so you can see all the silly details

Extremely large scarlet hibiscus flower, 5 petals and long central bits like a bottlebrush. Leaves are in sets of 5 like marijuana, but providing a very different high (getting to see a giant red flower)

I hadn't been to one of my favorite secluded spots (deep into a trail, and the one branch of which that ends at the St John's River) in mid-summer because it's usually flooded mosquito hell, but it was worth the trek this time because GIANT RED FLOWER 😍 (Scarlet rosemallow, Hibiscus coccineus)

Chat is it toxic to have no regrets about your choice of partner

An orange cat loafing. The setting sun protecting light through a barred window creates the impression of a battery charge bar glowing on the cat's back.

He's charged

That's how it always felt to me too. Icky, dehumanizing. Though that argument usually came up in the context of Christian gender roles, where it's also Icky and dehumanizing 😑

Very Jared Keeso voice: "Any of you's gonna touch grass, errr...?"

It's just bizarre to me, the framing of that whole lonely men/men aren't getting laid enough discourse. I'm not a man and it seems I never was but I did try to be, and this whole Problem™ just seems deeply made up in the most bad faith way. Work on yourselves, jfc

But even if I hadn't met someone, how is that the fault of Women? I'm not looking to date Women, I'm looking to date A woman, a person. Wtf is some influencer dude gonna have to say to me that relevant and helpful to that. They don't know me or her.

And I grew up under a rock and was very emotionally stunted from a shitty upbringing. But I figured if I was doing things that I loved and working on myself and learning to comfortable with my own person that someone I'd meet would be into that. And that proved correct. ♥️

It's just weird to me that we've normalized asking deeply personal advice of people or entities that do not know us? Like, it was never remotely in my mind to type "how do I date girls" into YouTube or whatever when I was single and sad about it. The very premise of the question seemed wrong to me.

i think straight men can get laid if they have like a lot of pictures of bugs maybe? like in their wallet

I guess I have more of that to look forward to the more femme I look, love that for us all

Love seeing a fresh round of "men aren't getting laid enough" discourse going around, and being reminded that the one time I ever had a man hit on me, he pretended to be interested in what I was doing just to proposition me and then not take my repeated No's for an answer, so no I don't really care

Ian Dunt made a dogshit take and story about getting liberals "laid" and when everyone told him he sucked, he said 'all your anger feeds me' but more diplomatically and then Hailey Piper said you didn't frame it as romance and attraction you framed it in regards to a belief of men's unique entitlement to sex. You even anticipated how that would come off and then blame others when you get the exact response you lressntes for

Lmaoooo dude got wrecked and is doing the "see I'm right" but I had to post this response because it's perfect and I couldn't have said it better myself

Little black jumping spider with a bright red patch below his big eyes like a nose, and handsome white socks, peering up at you from a green oak leaf

Mr Habronattus ocala with the handsomest little red "nose" ♥️

Goodnight y'all

They're more unwilling than unable, when large and mature they tend to conserve their energy more. But I've seen so many large lads and lasses in the wild with zoomies and they can Move

Oooh small wavy leg friends 🖤

Yesssss I will enable this. Also, Phidippus octopunctatus is perhaps the largest in the US if I remember correctly, and ranges out there. You know, if you need the full experience of Newton's 3rd Law of giant salticid locomotion.

It's like a faint echo of when a cat jumps out of your arms, but still close enough that you recognize the sensation

Not totally sure? A little larger than Phidippus regius, which is on somewhere in the top 3-4 of the largest north American species (somewhere over an inch long?)
