[VIDEO AND PHOTOS TAKEN: MARCH 10TH, 2026 | Video and Image IDs: A video and six photos of a spiny brown and grey larval Pyractomena firefly crawling around on a human hand, its head looking around curiously and its back end curling up and pushing forward almost like how one would use a cane/walking stick /End IDs.]

The first I've seen of this kind's larvae! What a badass looking beast this thing is, and so curious too! It's like a doggy to me

Unusual Jumping Spiders

Most jumping spider content I see is focused around Phidippus, which is a shame because Salticidae (the family of jumping spiders) is one of the most diverse families of spiders. This is just going to be some photos of different species or genera of Salticidae I find interesting.
