Some kind of Orb-weaver spider I think.

🕷️ A jumping spider that nurses its young with milk — 4x the protein of cow's milk
Female Toxeus magnus spiders secrete a milk-like fluid from their egg-laying opening for nearly 40 days after hatching. Newborns drink nothing else for the first 20 days and die within 11 days if the mother's milk supply is blocked.
Even after spiderlings learn to hunt at day 20, they keep nursing alongside their own kills for another three weeks. Daughters are allowed to return to the nest after reaching adulthood, but adult sons are attacked if they try.
This subverts the long-held assumption that lactation and extended milk-provisioning are exclusive to mammals.

There are small holes in the silk from several bites.

CW: Spider, being a spider
Heyo friends, I met a #spider!
At one point I brought the camera too close and alarmed the poor thing, but it chilled out again after I backed off. Wild to me how spikey their legs are.

Four-spotted orb-weaver (Araneus quadratus) resting in its web among branches. This species is one of the larger orb-weavers found in Europe, with coloration that varies noticeably between individuals. Active mainly in summer and early autumn.

#ArtRepostJuly Day 28: Environment
Kinda a stretch but here's a little game project I made. And when I say "I made" I mean pretty much everything; the models, the rigs, the textures, the animations, the sound effects, the code, the environment for the spider to play in...

Why You Should Never Kill Spiders In Your Home, According To An Entomologist
Getty Images/iStockphoto I know it may be hard to convince you, but let me try: Don’t kill the next spider you see in your home. Why? Because spiders are an important part of nature and our indoor ecosystem – as well as being fellow organisms in their own right. People like to think of their dwellings as safely insulated from the outside world, but many types of spiders can be found inside. Some are accidentally trapped, while others are short-term visitors. Some species even enjoy the […] -

CW: Spider (Mr Fuzzylegs)
Mr Fuzzylegs has been wandering around by house for a few days & turning up in unexpected places. Yesterday, I accidentally put my hand on him as I was going upstairs. It turns out he also has a fuzzy butt.😆 Don't worry, we didn't hurt each other. Here he is today after collecting cobwebs.
The movie Arachnophobia made this species out to be deadly but they're actually harmless to humans.

Speedpainting a Hyper doodle! Along came a decoratively deadly spider. Done in Procreate on an iPad Air 4 with the Apple Pencil 2.
Her name is Chuck. She is a beautiful arachnid and can spin a good yarn, just follow the threads...

A nifty pic for #ThickTrunkThursday off of our #Seattle front deck. This little lady is making an impressive #spider web backlit in front of our Douglas Fir.

This #harvestman, the Fork-palped Harvestman Dicranopalpus ramosus agg., was the species to get me interested in this #Arachnid order.
I kept seeing one sprawled out in characteristic parallel leg posture on walk home from uni back in 2015. When I tried ID, I was then made aware of non-native harvestmen being under the radar and undetected. This peaked my interest in both #Opiliones and #invasionecology. Though didn't get a chance to delve deeper in research until 2019.
