  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🕷️💨 The jungle #huntsman #spider from #Queensland reached 3.59 meters per second, doubling the previous #arachnid speed record.

    Researchers at #Imperial College #London measured 162 #species across four #continents to study spider #locomotion. They found that longer legs relative to body size predict greater speed.

    Found this cute friend on our sliding door. Must have scurried in to get out of the cold rainy evening. Such a pleasant house guest ^_^

  8. For the past several weeks I've been on a wet bark kick. Here's one find, a northern long-toothed sheetweaver (Drapetisca alteranda). Apparently only found on trees, or occasionally right at their bases. Media, PA, USA. #spider #arachnid #linyphiidae #nature #trees

  9. This adorable spider crawled off some vegetables I harvested yesterday. Barely 1.5 mm long, not including the legs. Guessing it's some sort of dwarf spider (Erigoninae), maybe an Erigone (there's a pic of E. capra on BugGuide that looks very similar). Always grateful for ID help. #spider #arachnid #nature #linyphiidae #MacroPhotography
