#macromonday Here’s another spider that is incredibly small (a juvenile) and is snacking on some type of fly. Third picture is backed out for scale. It was only a few millimeters long. Also its eyes are different colors. I’m guessing the flash hit each one at a different angle and caused this. My best guess on species is juvenile Phidippus Audax but if there’s a biologist in here with more experience please correct me if I’m wrong. (So many variants!)

Surprise in amber: exotic harvestmen once lived in Europe

A German-Bulgarian research team led by SNSB paleontologist Christian Bartel has discovered a new species of harvestman in 35-million-year-old Ukrainian and Baltic amber. The animal is related to harvestmen that are now extinct in Europe. The researchers published their findings in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

Cuando abandonas las prisas del día a día, cuando paras, cuando respiras, cuando te sientas y eres consciente del micromundo que te rodea puedes observar situaciones como esta.

This beautiful #SpiderWeb appeared outside my house one foggy night. Got a halfway decent pic, too, considering it was taken with my old phone a few years back.

#Fotovorschlag - Voll Cool / Totally cool

Trap door spiders, like the brown recluse, are one of the most fascinating types of spiders. They make these really cool “entrances” or tunnels to their lairs. They sit and wait underground for the vibrations.

Scared of Spiders? The Real Nightmare Is a World Without Them

A sweeping review of nearly 100,000 insect and arachnid species in North America has revealed a surprising and troubling reality: scientists lack even basic conservation assessments for the vast majority of them.
