Wolfie the wolf spider. I found it about a year ago and kept it because winter was coming. Poor thing was missing two legs and a half but it got by just fine 🤎

U.S. tick invasion

“I would say that people are very alarmed and very scared about the presence of the transmission of tick-borne diseases,” says Faraone. “We don't have a vaccine for Lyme yet, although we know very well that ticks carry multiple pathogens. So a vaccine for Lyme won't be the best solution for protecting us from this.”

🕷️🏡 Experts at the International Society of #Arachnology say that the answer to the most common #spider depends on how you measure them.

The cosmopolitan cellar spider is found in nearly every #building on Earth because it travels with humans. However, the tiny money spider family might have the highest population density because they can cover entire fields in silk and drift through the air using a technique called ballooning.

A beautiful lady and her beautiful children! This was a female argiope argentata (pictured here eating a mealworm I offered to her) that lived in my grandma's garden. She survived the loss of a leg and then a violent storm so I was thrilled to see that no only she was thriving but her babies were born as well 💚

Still the depths of winter here. I have been having dreams about bugs. I recently had a dream about finding plump whirligig mites everywhere: some their usual orange-red, others greenish because they had just eaten something green…I miss the mites.

Here are some whirligig mites I found a couple of years ago on a rock down by the lake, fighting over a dead midge. #iNaturalist observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/225382565 :inaturalist:

RE: https://mastodon.green/@plazi_species/115746512910604870

#Pseudoscorpions are #interesting and #biologically diverse #arachnids that are often overlooked due to their #smallsize. Many species are #grounddwellers or live in deadwood. The largest #taxon is the #Chernetidae, with approximately 726 extant #species. L. Laibe et al. (2025) described a new species of its genus #Attaleachernes from the eastern #Amazon region and also characterized the #habitat.

Been a long time since I posted anything for #MiteMonday, but I was going through my camera and found this one I don't think I've shared before! Just a good old _Allothrombium_ red velvet mite.
