I think one of my favourite jumping spiders is Opisthoncus necator just because its common name is just “The Murderer” for some reason, so if I ever go to look at it on iNat, I am greeted with this very accusatory title and what is essentially its mug shot

#like.. who did she murder??? #it makes me think of that American tv show host lady who’s always like ‘THE KILLER!’ #gardeneticisms #creature photography #not mine #arachnids #spiders #jumping spiders #Opisthoncus necator

Random fact: Although jumping spiders can't move their eyes, they can move their retinas to change their field of view. It's as if they're looking through a window.

If the spider is clear enough, you can even see the retinas moving through the cephalothorax:

@taiisdelusional submitted: Who is she???

I'm in Argentina, northwest and she is BIG

A large and perfect woman! Who has woven a beautiful golden web. She is a golden silk spider, Trichonephila clavipes :)

today i had a discussion with someone on the things we call scorpions that are not scorpions . because entomologists love to call things by names they are not actually.

ended up with this little . presentation. guide. thing. there are probably many, many more, but this is what we came up with on the Spot

#could've added that scorpionflies are not even true flies since they're not in Diptera #but if we want to start listing things we call flies that are not flies then we would need a whole separate massive list #clamtalk #ok i'm done talkign for today sorry. Very talkative. Much to say #bugs #bug tw #arachnids #arachnophobia #entomology #scorpions #ask to tag #bugposting

Are you afraid of spiders?

Please note: I’m not asking if you LIKE spiders, I’m asking if you’re AFRAID of them.

For bonus points, tag your answer and which continent you live on!

hi ronald! one of the prettiest mites you ever did see (genus ronaldothrombium)

#velvet mite #mite #arachnids #arachnida #acari #trombidiformes #trombidioidea #trombidiidae #ronaldothrombium #<- arguably can't be 100% sure that it's ronaldothrombium because they have not been described as adults #and while ray fisher did rear larvae (i think off of juvenile salticids) that hasnt been published #but who give a shit
