#arachnids — Public Fediverse posts

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

Some kind of Orb-weaver spider I think.

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

There are small holes in the silk from several bites.

💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

My arachnophobia doesn't prevent me from admiring these absolute marvels of nature. I could watch an orb weaver spin its web for hours, from a safe distance of course. This boy was particularly chonky so I'm glad the zoom function on my phone worked well 😅

This cute jumping spider (#Carrhotus xanthogramma) loves warm places. In Germany it is only found in the southern half of the country.

The #animals that give each other gifts https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20241223-christmas-animals-that-give-gifts

"Nuptial gift giving – when the male presents the female with a nutritious morsel during courtship and mating – has been noted in species as diverse as #snails, #earthworms & #squid. #Birds have been known to enjoy gift giving too, with male great grey #shrikes impaling small creatures on thorns and twigs to impress mates, before offering them as presents during courtship. However, it is most common amongst #insects & #arachnids."

Just need to get this out somewhere, okay? I have a great relationship with my housemates, I respect them deeply and appreciate all the work they do around the house, but this morning (!) as I was shivering and naked post-shower, I grabbed my towel, started to dry myself and one of the little (this is only relative, this was easily the largest of my housemates) creeps fell out of the towel!!! Like, he was in there while I showered. Anyways, I feel this is a bit of a violation of my boundaries, right? Like how fucked up is that? And it's not like they'll listen to me when I bring it up, they literally run away when I approach them. I think I need professional help. Like, an entomologist.

#Arachtober 10: from back in June, a mesh-web weaver (family Dictynidae) back-combing a line of silk to turn it into a fuzz of nanofibres. Spiders like this have a special sieve-like silk-making organ called a cribellum. This in fact is the ancestral state of most spiders.

Cribellate silk doesn't use glue; rather, it melds with the waxy compounds on some insect exoskeletons. It doesn't stick very well to other surfaces. Later in spider evolution, spiders developed other types of silk that could catch different insects and support more ambitious aerial webs. However, for a minority of spiders, cribellate silk still works just fine.

Conifer cones are like high-rises for tiny spiders. Every one holds countless silk apartments, some with spiders still inside, like the dictynid in the last picture.

From my Ontario Place visit a couple weeks ago: a tiny spiderling ballooning from a fence post, on an unseasonably warm afternoon. #Araneidae? #Dictynidae?

Velvet mite (Trombidium, I think) that I found earlier this week after a warm rain. Predatory as adults but larval stages are typically ectoparasitic on insects, spiders, harvestman, and pseudoscorpions. You can occasionally find velvet mite plush toys on Etsy. #acarology #entomology #mites #arachnids

@bugid More pics here in case anyone is willing to take a look on #inaturalist. They seemed to having such a good time. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/121397761 #mites #arachnids #acarology
