From the Earth to the Morgue

Adult, no minors please. J.J. Mysterygender Enigmaromantic Conundrumsexual. On this blog I post art and shoot the breeze, run my mouth, talk a blue streak. Speaking of bluestreak, I enjoy transformers but don't call me a fan. The end. Speaking of The End, I also like MCR but won't be posting much about them if at all.

Micropterix aruncella, the white-barred-gold. It's part of the only extant lepidoptetan lineage that still possesses mandibles instead of a proboscis, which is also why they can't feed on nectar, and instead eat pollen.

unfortunately, I didn't get a picture from the mandibles, it flew away when I tried x3

Excerpt from the article:

The spiders' sulfur-rich diet influences their microbiomes, causing them to be significantly less diverse than the microbiomes of spiders from the same two species outside the cave, gut content analyses revealed. Molecular data also showed that the spiders inside the cave were genetically different from their relatives living outside, suggesting the cave-dwellers have adapted to their dingy surroundings.

Neat!

Do you have any cool facts about the australian christmas spider?

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Australian Christmas Spider (Austracantha minax) can be found all over mainland Australia and many of the surrounding islands? They can be easily identified by the six spines on its abdomen, measuring about 5mm each.

Not only are these spiders sexually dimorphic (the females are about twice as large as males and significantly more colourful), but the females also exhibit colour polymorphism, meaning they can come in a variety of patterns and colours. The colour morphs from later in autumn are often darker than those from warmer seasons.

These spiders are also unusual for how they build their webs. Unlike most other orb weavers, their webs are mostly permanent so they make the support strands visible to most larger animals. This is to help warn things that are too big that the web is there and to not destroy it.
