I met the tiniest smallest ittiest bittiest little baby jumping spider the other day. They explored the vast alien land of my lap desk thing. Then they hopped right on my thumb! The little spide was a very patient little passenger while I relocated them to a tall plant. Gold star for baby.

Oh boy. Too small for this world......hope they live a long and happy spider life!

[Image ID: the meme of squidward with a button on his shirt, the text on the button reads;

" Although insect phobias cannot always be helped, they should not be so normalized in our culture because this justifies irrational hatred and fear of an incredibly important group of animals that make up the majority of life on this planet, and continues to perpetuate an attitude that makes violence against and extincion of these essential and often harmless contributors to the ecosystem acceptable, and further propagates more insect phobias in individuals which then continues the cycle of misunderstanding and ecological violence" // End ID ]

She's certainly coloured up in the two weeks I've had her! Looks almost like an entirely different fish!
