  1. #Mites & #spiders are #arachnids and they eat each other, they also have toxins in their #venom that target each other. Spider venom #peptides "organic" way of killing mites doesn't accumulate in the food chain; doesn't kill the farmer or the beekeeper or any pets — it's selective to the #varroa mite," Dr Herzig said.

  2. Today in small garden #spooder doings: I found these three juvenile bold jumping spiders, #PhidippusAudax, each tiny cutie hanging out in their own #Dahlia petal palace. I wonder if they're siblings...

  7. Today in itsy-bitsy, incy-wincy #spooder doings - I'm beginning to spot #AraneusDiadematus spiderlings around the garden. I found this one on the tip of a #clematis leaf.

    By autumn the surviving females will be grand gravid beauties, their namesake mottled cross marking evident on their large orange abdomens. They'll be hanging out at the center of their magnificent orb webs or carefully tucked just out of sight, a single elegant claw hooked onto a signal line alerting them the moment something touches their web.

    But right now, while they're all so incredibly small and translucent, I'd swear they're made of at least 50% sunlight.

  12. For all the aspects of summer that I dislike, that disagree with my brain, I will also admit that it's more than just an inescapable, uncomfortable countdown to glorious autumn. For one thing, it's when various #spiders gradually become more evident outside - orb weavers, jumping spiders, crab spiders, grass spiders, funnel weavers - and each day includes the ritual of inspecting flowers around the garden in hopes of spotting #MisumenaVatia, the flower crab spider. Today I found one and she is exquisite.

    While I understand how these beauties find their flowers (mostly by scent), the fact that these elegant, camouflaged spooders manage to locate, climb (or balloon onto), and take up residence inside flowers like so many tiny, eight-legged, predatory Thumbelinas, always feels like magic to me.

  18. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 13
    #TerrestrialTuesday

    #BritishColumbia is full of #lagerstätten (sites of exceptional #fossil #preservation), including the sites of the #Eocene #Okanagan. Here, a series of #ancient #lakes preserve #fossils of #leaves, #insects, and the oldest #salmon. Rarest of all are #arachnids: this fossil of the #spider Palaeoperenethis thaleri in the #RoyalOntarioMuseum is the only one of its kind, but it's #preserved well enough to identify it as a relative of fishing #spiders
