  1. This red-spotted purple puddling on my garden path did an obliging little twirl for me earlier. 🦋🧑‍🩰

  2. #Spider warning for today's #Weretober - a werewolf! ...spider!

    I'm pretty sure she looks more curious than hungry at the moment, but it's kinda hard to tell, so watch yourself.

  3. Suddenly realized what the secondhand DSLR would be perfect for at my current beginner stage: the lakeshore thin-legged wolf spiders (_Pardosa lapidicina_)!

    Though it is rather late in the season, I saw plenty of females with egg sacs running around—perhaps it's been warm long enough for them to have two litters? And I found one mother carrying babies. I also include photos of two colour variants, blue-grey and yellow-brown.

    The mature males I've seen are all very dark, almost black. The largest females seem to be solid colours. I wonder if they change colour based on life stage?
