one of my fave things about spiders is how they walk. theyre so thoughful and melodical about every step and i think thats really cute. they pause when they're unsure and approach everything with this poise about them.

from the perspective of my engineering degree, its also really cool how they move their legs using hydraulics of their own haemolymph (bug blood).

they also have little toe beans. thats also great.

hehehghsh look at them

The lovely Bumbleebee Jumping Spider! Genus Corythalia! Very charming as all jumping spiders, so inquisitive! They seem to have an affinity for hunting on top of rocks.

I really like the splotched yellow pattern on their head, and how shiny their black legs are!

people: tarantulas are so scary how can you keep them as pets, aren't you worried they'll attack you?

my tarantula, who's been sitting in a stress pose for 6 hours because I filled her water bowl and it scared her:

Someone: Very clearly, explicitly explains that every single species of invertebrate is important in some way to the environment and how insect populations keep dropping which could literally cause ecological collapse if they were to all go extinct

Some absolute genius, every single fucking time: This is it......... This is the perfect post to talk about how much I hate mosquitos/ticks/spiders/wasps on and go "Haha but those icky bad evil mean bugs I hate are an exception right lol???"
