I was visited by a male Bold Jumper (Phidippus audax) jumping spider yesterday while I was changing the trash at the gas pumps! He was a very pretty boy!

Perhaps my favorite of my #petSpiders: #Liphistius cf. ornatus (ornate armored #trapdoorSpider)! Some points of interest: 1. 1 leg/palp at the base of each silk tripline, waiting to feel prey to walk by 2. eyes on a cute little orb atop the head! 3. those leg spines! They're used to grab and pull in prey --- Liphistiids are the most 'ancient' of all living spiders. That is, all other spiders are more closely related to each other than to Liphistiids. So, these spiders have traits that are very similar to the ancestor of all spiders! --- (i've been struggling w/ whether or not to post my photography these days. It feels very empty to be like "hey look a cool spider!" when there are so many horrible things going on that need our attention. but I think I need to keep doing art for at least my own sake) --- (if you enjoy my photography, please go and take action. donate. demand that your university/lab make changes to fight systemic racism. attend protests. don't let up until there is some change) --- #arachnology #arachnidsofig #arachnidsofinstagram #tarantulasoftheworld #tarantulasofig #tarantulas #petspider #spiderverse #spidersOfInstagram #spidersofig #spidersOfInstagram #macro #macro_brilliance #macroperfection #macrophoto #macrophotography #InvertOfTheWeek #invert_macro #amazingArachnids #exploreTinyWorlds #naturePhotography #wildlifephotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYp5-PBFTg/?igshid=1k05rbgdey6wv
