Today is the 1st #spiderSunday! Arachnologists across the world are sharing #amazingArachnid photos and facts. For my part, here is a close-up of a #tarantula's eyes. See how tiny they are? #Tarantulas don't hunt by sight; instead they feel the "footsteps" of nearby prey! --- And a bit zoomed out, to give you a sense of scale. This is Isabel the Chilean rose-hair once again. She is a very good model, especially when she's eating. --- #exploreTinyWorlds #sciComm #bugwatching #arthropod  #arachnid #arachnids #spider #spiders #loveAllSpiders #everySpiderMatters #TurnFearToFascination #arachnidsOfIG #spidersOfIG #spidersOfInstagram #invert_macro #macro #macro_photography #arthropodMacro #naturePhotography #spiderPhotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LppXeHXGI/?igshid=rqn7r2yydzp4

For #Arachtober 2nd, a diligent parent! This Pholcid (cellar spider) mom carries her ball of eggs in her fangs until they hatch (but is thankfully tolerant of giants with cameras getting her face). #AmazingArachnids #ExploreTinyWorlds --- Enjoying my photography?

real Entychides hours, who up For #Arachtober 3rd, meet a part of the night life. Once the sun has set, this male wafer-lid trapdoor spider (Entychides sp.) wanders in search of a female’s burrow. It’s a dangerous journey, but he’s determined and looking good! #AmazingArachnids #ExploreTinyWorlds --- Enjoying my photography?

For #Arachtober 6th, let's flip the (regular) lights back on. Here's another Centruroides sculpturatus scorpion! The UV is cool, but you lose the gorgeous orange tones. This individual was just a few trees over, and is monching on a nighttime snack of a moth! #ExploreTinyWorlds #AmazingArachnids --- Enjoying my photography?

For #Arachtober 7th, we're back in blue. This male Zoropsid spider (maybe Zorocrates sp?) is sportin' a ghostly pale blue hue (under my flash lighting). Why? I'm not 100%, but my guess is that he only just molted, and will darken up as his exoskeleton hardens. #ExploreTinyWorlds #AmazingArachnids --- Enjoying my photography?

For #Arachtober 8th, let's take another snack break w/ this female Castianeira dorsata! Spiders can't chew, & their mouth is a tiny straw behind/below the fangs. So they spit up digestive juices on their dinner, then drink up the resulting smoothie. #AmazingArachnids #ExploreTinyWorlds --- Enjoying my photography?

For #Arachtober 9th, let's get WEIRD. This spiky, gorgeous Eremobates is a Solifugid--one of the /many/ different arachnids besides spiders! From their senses to their behavior, they are wonderfully strange. Getting to see one in the wild was a dream come true! #AmazingArachnids #ExploreTinyWorlds --- Enjoying my photography?
