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.

This absolute unit had set up shop right above the back door, I included the recessed ceiling light for scale (the photo still doesn't do it justice, the light is smaller than the spider 😭😭😭)
My husband managed to safely remove it and release it in the backyard in a spot where there should be plenty to eat. I'll bet this guy eats mice. 😩

#MiteMonday: a tiny _Podocinum_ mite found under a rock. Its extremely thin elongated front legs have forked hairs at the end, and it seems to use these legs like antennae to navigate.

Note to self: when you think you’ve dropped your pen between two lounge chairs and a quick look shows something dark in the shadows, do NOT reach your hand down there to pick it up!
Fortunately for my nerves it was a dead huntsman, but it was a major creep out nonetheless. Could have been worse, right? We’ve had funnelwebs in the house before. #arachnids #arachnophobia #spiders #straya #australia

The rain this morning brought out plenty of arthropods in the garden, including these two arachnids. A podocinid mite (https://bugguide.net/node/view/247922), a tiny mesostig with extremely long, thin front legs terminating in forked hairs; and a chthoniid pseudoscorpion, with its clawed pedipalps. Strangely akin.

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

#MiteMonday: meet _Podocinum_! Found several of these tiny predatory fellows under a rock, feeling their way around with their long, thin front legs tipped with forked hairs, a little reminiscent of a pseudoscorpion's claws. However they are dwarfed by even the small pseudoscorpions in my garden.
