#jumping spider

I keep seeing this picture and similar ones and it keeps giving me thoughts. Yeah I do agree with the message ! And these animals are hated by many peoole !! But let's be honest. These are still fairly conventionally cute. They're big eyed fluffy affectionate pretty intelligent mammals and birds. So today, I'm offering y'all my own version.

BE NICE TO ALL ANIMALS. INCLUDING THE ONES WHO DON'T LIKE BEING PET. INCLUDING THE ONES THAT AREN'T FLUFFY. INCLUDING THE ONES YOU FIND UGLY. Be nice to the weird ass critters too >:)

i am losing my mind over discovering that there's a species of jumping spider (Pellenes nigrociliatus) that builds nests in empty snail shells and makes little silk webbing curtains to close off the entrance

look at her!! she is so cute!!! i want to cry!!!!

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.

Indigo the jumping spider is finally complete, just in time for Halloween! this cutie took me several months to complete, 100% by hand because sewing machines hate me ಥ‿ಥ

he has handpaws, armsleeves, four mini-legs, a big spider butt/tail, and three pairs of follow-me eyes (one for seeing, two for show). the head, sleeves, and paws are all fully-lined with scuba knit.

original reference sheet under the cut:

ended up not making the feetpaws to spare myself some pain, but may try to make them sometime in the future if i have some free crafting time. not anytime soon, though; i'll need at least a few months to get my office/craft room back into a presentable state.

Cheeto is BEYOND beautiful

We've never had a spider this orange before. I know we keep saying it, but she's just soooo orange! Plus her chelicerae are so purple. She's just perfect 🥹
