Went down to the lake and fed midges to the bold jumping spiders living in the railing by the pool. °OO°

Big catch for a little spider!

Zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) with crane fly (family Tipulidae).

Eight eyes, zero chill. Spotted this fuzzy jumping spider (Salticidae) in Biebrza National Park, Poland, striking the perfect pose on a curled leaf. Nature's tiniest, most curious hunter.

#DailyMitePic × #DailySpiderPic: I was taking a photo of a whirligig mite (family Anystidae) eating a tiny midge when I saw a zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) sneakily approaching. It pounced and seized the midge for itself! (1/2)

Last night went out for a good bug ramble except I realized I forgot my light, so I went home and made do with my phone flash along the way. (OpenCamera has a torch flash mode where the flash is always on.)

- _Leptinotarsa_ potato beetles mating
- a huge _Clubiona_ leaf-curling sac spider eating a zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_)
- an ant war (_Tetramorium_?), this was only one of two large patches, with skirmishes up and down the sidewalk
- a *huge* sawfly larva? of some kind

#DailySpiderPic: found a couple of _Myrmarachne_ ant-mimic jumping spiders on the garden wall today! With their shape and coloration combined with fast staccato motion, if you're not looking closely it's easy to confuse them with their model, _Camponotus_ carpenter ants (pictured: a worker feeding on a bit of apple I gave them, also today).

There's a tan jumping spider (_Platycryptus undatus_) that apparently lives on the garden wall. I caught a plant bug for her. She didn't take it out of my fingers but I put it on the edge of a brick. She circled warily until she was behind it, then began tapping her trembling pedipalps in unison (you could practically see the gears turning in her head and equations flying by). Then she leaped on it and dragged it into the shade between two bricks. I hope she survives and sticks around. It is nice having a jumping spider to visit.

(There are plenty of zebra jumpers already, but I can't tell them apart)

Forgive the subpar photos but I just saw an ant-mimic jumping spider (_Synageles_) investigating a crevice in a wrought-iron fence post. Antennae twitched within. The hole was already occupied by a carpenter ant (_Camponotus_ cf. _novaeboracensis_?) who did not buy the spider's disguise one bit. The last pic is the Synageles looking at me like "Did you just see that?!" It was too funny.

Another Ant Mimic Jumping Spider and another Asian Weaver Ant which it mimics. This is the female jumping spider. Under normal lighting, their color matches very closely too.

And then there's Paracyrba wanlessi, the jumping spider that pulls mosquito larvae out of water-filled internodes of decaying bamboo. Found in Malaysia and described in 1996. #spiders #salticidae #bamboo #malaysia https://salticidae.pl/diagnost/paracyrb/wanlessi.htm

One of my favorite mosquito facts is that there's a spider in Africa, the vampire jumping spider (Evarcha culicivora), that specializes on mosquitoes plump from a recent blood meal. It was described in 2003. #inaturalist #mosquitoes #spiders #blood #salticidae #insects #africa https://youtu.be/dA6sCQlHPEs?t=78

Found three spiders in a hands-breadth under the lip of a brick wall: a good-sized _Parasteatoda tepidariorum_ house spider; a zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_); and its prey, a small cobweb spider of some kind such as _Theridion_ based on the markings (see last pic).

A pretty meh day but still managed to see several spiders:

- a mesh-web weaver couple
- a crab spider, something in Coriarachnini
- _Attulus fasciger_ with that teeny tiny posterior median eye clearly visible
- a cobweb spider, maybe _Enoplognatha_?

Garden arachnids from today:

- _Leucauge venusta_ spiderling has set up near the mosquito bucket
- male _Attulus fasciger_
- couldn't quite ID this smallish, cryptic-patterned jumper, any ideas? (🌎 Toronto, Ontario)
- bonus mite: pollen-eating _Balaustium_ have started to appear!

Some arachnids from today:

- young _Mangora_ orbweaver
- _Naphrys pulex_ (I think?), considering some kind of hymenopteran
- and most excitingly, Trombidiidae that aren't _Allothrombium_! I'm not quite sure whether they're both _Trombidium_, the first one is oddly not velvety at all but more rough-textured, and more flat than plump, like Smarididae if it were trombidiid-shaped. I am going to upload the pics to BugGuide to see what the experts say.
