🕷️ 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.

A Black and yellow garden spider that caught a Common bumble bee.
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.

Our Summer rains in Tucson bring out awesome arthropods; here are 2 of my favorites I drew in my Perpetual Journal: Red Velvet Mite & Ironclad Beetle. See more on my latest blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/while-april-showers-bring-may-flowers

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 […] -
EDIT: only one guess made and Eric, you are right! I’m attaching the 3 info screenshots I gathered. I’m horrified! And very allergic to spider bites!
Oh. My. Gosh!
While rinsing out something in the utility sink outside, I discovered this poor little spider drowned and dead in a small plastic tub I save for cleaning tasks outside. No idea what is is but I knew it was similar but different from a cellar spider, common here in Phoenix. #Spider #Arachnid #Phoenix #iPhoneAny guesses before I reveal what I learned for an ID of it? I was skeptical but son told me to use google images and google lens. Can’t believe the hits immediately were right. Even for a drowned spider upside down and geometrically folded up to a 3D star shape! Don’t use this image for a search like I did—will share later today the 3 screenshots I took of results.

Eight eyes, zero chill. Spotted this fuzzy jumping spider (Salticidae) in Biebrza National Park, Poland, striking the perfect pose on a curled leaf. Nature's tiniest, most curious hunter.

I found a house pseudoscorpion in my bathroom. Really cool little creature. Apparently they live among humans and eat mites, fruit flies and other small annoying things. I learned that after throwing the lil gal outside. Should have carried her to the kitchen instead where I currently have annoying fruit flies.

CW: Insect eye contact - interaction
This grasshopper seems to be having a bit of a bad evening. A tiny mite has embedded itself under its eye and is drinking happily. I wish I had a different lens on at that moment because the grasshopper was magnificent and huge all dressed like moss and lichen. Unfortunately, I haven't tried to ID either yet so tell me if you know.

#Scientists believe they have #discovered a #new #parasitic #fungus which #preys on trapdoor #spiders in #Brazil ’s Atlantic #rainforest .
The #rare #organism , which is purple, belongs to a group of #fungi that #infect #invertebrates & take over the host. A closeup image shows the fungus wrapped around the body of a #TrapdoorSpider , poking out of the burrow from which the #arachnid grabs insects.
