  2. Good morning. 🕸️🕷️👻

    29 October 2025

    Suddenly, the light dims—then brightens again. Not a flicker, exactly, more like a slow, deliberate pulse. Something feels off. I get that prickly sensation, like I'm being watched, and the hairs on the back of my neck rise in alarm. I scan the room. Nothing there. Or at least, nothing visible.

    Still, the feeling lingers. Then I spot Charlie, curled up in the corner, eyes locked on me, tracking my every move. I exhale. That’s the thing about dogs—they’re always watching, always present. And somehow, that makes it okay.

    People say dogs can see things we can’t. Spirits, maybe. I don’t buy into ghosts and the supernatural, but I keep an open mind. Hmm… are ghosts and spirits the same? Or is it like vampires and zombies—both undead, but with different appetites. Vampires suck blood, zombies eat brains. I’m getting off track.

    If you’ve got a dog, you’ve probably seen it: you’re sitting at home, and suddenly your dog is staring—ears perked, body alert—at something you can’t see. It sends a shiver up your spine as you ask, “What are you looking at?” And if they growl? Bonus shivers.

    Charlie does this all the time. Usually through the kitchen, toward the garage. He hears cars pass the driveway, waiting to see if someone’s arriving. I think. But maybe… it’s something else. 👻

    "Many cultures historically associate dogs with spiritual realms, viewing them as protectors or guides for souls.” — BrainWiseMind

    “Ghosts aren’t physical phenomena to be picked up by the senses. So some form of non-sensory perception would be needed to perceive a ghost… Dogs and cats—and likely most animals—are psychic, just like humans.” - Loyd Auerbach, parapsychologist

    “Maybe, instead of seeing something spooky, they are orienting their heads to smells and sounds to help them perceive these stimuli better." - Ellen Furlong, psychology professor at Transylvania University

  3. CW: Spinne / spider

    Heute hat mich an der Hauswand dieser freundliche Geselle begrüßt: ein Streckfuß (Dicranopalpus ramosus).
    Besonders auffällig neben der namensgebenden Haltung der Beine sind die geteilten Pedipalpen. Habe ich so zum ersten Mal gesehen. 🤩

  4. #KleineDinge ganz groß:

    Zierliche, temporäre Mitbewohnerin
    in ihrem kaum sichtbaren #Netz mit
    schickem #Schatten...

    Aus Gewohnheit sage ich #Weberknecht,
    obwohl es wohl #Zitterspinne heißen
    müsste. Die #Spinnen scheint es aber
    eher nicht zu stören... 😁

    Wen aber #Spinnen im #Keller stören,
    kann sich ja mal fragen, 🤔
    was genau die da eigentlich fressen 😁?

    Schönen Abend allerseits!

  5. And here is your critter prescription. Around these parts, we call these fellers daddy legs. Robot photos soon. Got some nature photos to get through. . . . . . #photography #naturephotography #insect #predacon #nature #daddylonglegs #huntsman #bugs #critterprescription

  6. Eastern harvestman (𝘓𝘦𝘪𝘰𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘮 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘮) living his best life in the staghorn sumac (𝘙𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢), from September 2019:

  8. Discovery of 48-million-year-old #DaddyLonglegs with their iridescent, metallic appearance intact

    Iridescent #harvestmen from the #Eocene of #Messel, Germany phys.org/news/2024-06-discover

    "The metallic appearance is probably due to so-called #StructuralColors, where the surface of the animal's cuticle reflects light in such a way that they have a shiny appearance, even 48 million years later. This has never been seen in #fossil harvestmen before."

  9. Living species of #DaddyLonglegs has two additional sets of underdeveloped eyes as embryos phys.org/news/2024-02-species-

    #VestigialOrgans alter #fossil placements in an ancient group of terrestrial #chelicerates cell.com/current-biology/abstr

    "While a fossilized specimen of a more ancient version of the #arachnid found in 2014 had an additional set of lateral eyes on the side of the head, the new study is the first to show evidence of more than one eye set in a living daddy longlegs species."

  10. Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in the Technicolor, CinemaScope 20th Century-Fox musical, “Daddy Long Legs” (1955).

    This was the first Astaire picture I ever saw and the best of his 1950s efforts. The great music by Johnny Mercer is a big plus.
