Im Spätsommer und Frühherbst sind die Gartenkreuzspinnen besonders aktiv und bauen ihre auffälligen Radnetze in Gärten, Parks und an Waldrändern. ❤️

💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

It's still #MiteMonday somewhere…

Vignette from under a log. A snout mite (family Bdellidae) feeds on the remains of a springtail, with a guest appearance from a beetle mite (order? suborder? Oribatida)*.

* Above superfamily or so, mite taxonomic ranks start getting contentious.

#MiteMonday: snout mite (family Bdellidae) and oribatid mite are friends

#Arachtober 19: this cute little oribatid (found on a rotting log) seemed to have ladybug-like spots. These widespread and abundant detritus- and fungus-eating soil dwellers are sometimes called "beetle mites" because of their hard carapaces.

White-banded Crab Spiders (Misumenoides formosipes) lurk in flowers and snatch unwary critters trying to snack on nectar. Females can reversibly change their color to optimize camouflage (not as quickly as cuttlefish or chameleons though). They like to appear white with some green or even bold red on white or purple blossoms and a perfectly matched golden yellow on flowers like goldenrod.

Kicking off #InverteFest with a galumnoid oribatid from my garden!

For #MiteMonday, here's a little oribatid I found under the bark of a rotting log in a very wet meadow. Unlike the poppyseed-like galumnoids I've posted before, this one has a clear division between head and abdomen. It would be serendipitous if it were a ptyctimous mite, as a new catalogue of this group was just published: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5265.1.1

Just a couple of oribatid mites under a rock in the garden…Galumnoidea, perhaps?
