What time is it ? It’s #Cheliceratime ! For the first entry of cheliceratime, let’s start with a classic : Misumena vatia, aka the goldenrod crab spider! #spider #arachnid #chelicerate #arthropod All the basic infos are here but if you want to lean more there’s more below !⬇️
I truly enjoyed the collaborative nature of making this video, and you might enjoy that mine is not the only face in it. This topic is amazing. youtu.be/_QF6kaOAuYg?...

Q: Why are Bugs so silly? A: Because they don't have a serious bone in their body *loud booing* Anyway here's Apache degeeri, a silly derbid planthopper
Only hot girls (gender neutral) study arachnids. I don’t make the rules.
bbno$ is so fuckin based for supporting artists so much you can love or hate his music but man that man uses his influence for the right thing huge respect for him 🔥💪

🧵 ARACHNOPHOBIA GREATEST HITS A thread of my favorite arachnophobia papers dedicated to my friends @humanbyweight.bsky.social and @entobiologist.bsky.social, with increasingly unserious character limited summaries. Is this the science version of making somebody a mixtape? Okay, here we go 👇🕷️
🧵Arachnophobia, while common, is unique amongst phobias bc often invokes an overlap of fear and disgust! This is not prevalent in other arthropod phobias. Interestingly, fear & disgust utilize the same neural network and have similar outputs, making them difficult to disentangle.
🦋 Alie of the Woods 🦋@humanbyweight.bsky.social · 10mo agoArachnophobia is interesting to me because it's so specific. Like, people generally aren't afraid of crabs, even though they're hairy and skitter around. And they're not afraid of bugs, even though they have about the same number of eyes. Most people will never even see a dangerous spider irl.
hello fellow ecologists has anyone successfully applied to the grfp (in its current format) and would be willing to send me their application materials for my own reference? many thanks!! 🧪
The RAPTURE? Ohhhh I thought you said D. RAPTOR. Damnit.
Female fishing spider (Dolomedes sulfureus) glaring at us as she clutches the egg sac with her jaws. I’ve posted a photo 3 months ago of one that's selensulfur color. This species come in wide range of colors. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect 卵嚢を抱いたイオウイロハシリグモ。八つの目で睨みつける。長野県小諸市鴇久保 #虫
Not enough of you liked this. I was sitting on the couch cracking myself up making it. Have we given up on frivolity as a people? Smh.
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D.@sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 11mo ago*Most* eels don’t wear wigs. Did you know that? Did you know that *important fact* about eels?? Well there are a LOT more eel facts where that came from. Most being, ya know, better and more useful eel facts. You better learn more with an eel facts advent calendar. Get one at EelFacts.Net
The Empress!! I was so worried when I started because like ... all the spindly eggs - but where we have a whip scorpion with her noodly babies.

the new developments on inat inspired me to make a diagnostic thread for every insect order because there's only like 30something of them. going to try and avoid exceptions and extremely technical characteristics when possible. 🧵
