YALL! Paradise spider stickers, postcards, masks and more are now available via my new Redbubble store! This includes my #spiderStickerBLM design as well as a new Habronattus pyrrithrix drawing! Bring these lovely spiders home today: ➡️https://www.redbubble.com/people/spiderdaynight/explore⬅️ --- I will be donating 25% of all the proceeds from the "Jumping Spider for Black Lives" design to organizations supporting Black lives, justice, and equity. Yall donated over $4k across the 2 original #spiderStickerBLM runs, btw! I hope to keep that total growing. --- Let me know if you'd like these designs on any other products, too! I had a lot of options to pick from, and kept the initial selection simple. Eventually I hope to add new designs, too! --- #arachnology #arachnidsofig #arachnidsofinstagram #spidersunday #spidersOfInstagram #spidersofig #SpiderScience #wildlife_perfection #wildlife #nature #invertsofinstagram #InvertOfTheWeek #invert_macro #nature #wildanimals #JumpingSpiders #jumpingspider #habronattus #salticidae #salticid #sciart #scicomm #illustration #naturalhistoryillustration #spiderart #sticker #redbubble https://www.instagram.com/p/CItE5NGMgiE/?igshid=18w256xvr993n

#spiderStickerBLM updates: -I mailed out a bunch of stickers yesterday! Thanks for your patience & expect em soon! -We are up to $4200 in total donations!!! I'm amazed at y'all's generosity! When I started this, I was hoping to get just the bare minimum of $5/sticker, but the average donation has been $20! -I have 20 stickers left; let's see how much we can get up to! Swipe for details ➡️ --- Please share with any who might be interested!! I am between jobs, so running this project is what I can do at the moment in terms of donations. --- For the curious, the spider I've illustrated is an adult male #Habronattus decorus (decorated paradise jumper), which are fairly widespread in North America. Males vary in color; some are black, & some light grey. All have a metallic pink abdomen, which they show off in their courtship dance. For my PhD I studied why and how animals (and in particular, this genus of spiders) get their audience's attention when communicating an important message. --- #spiderverse #SpiderMan #sciComm #arachnology #arachnidsofig #arachnidsofinstagram #jumpingspiders #jumpingspider #spidersOfInstagram #spiderart #salticid #salticidae #illustration #shutdownstem #shutdownacademia #scienceart #sciart #spiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwK87UsKbv/?igshid=1unpasm2d0c06
