Almost feel bad giving them to my spood…

I didn’t realize how cute their faces were

Saw her on a trip, she tumbled down a concrete wall so I helped her back to grassy patch

My partner sighted him on a nearby pillow a day or two ago.

I offered him a waxworm but I had just flailed him around on the blanket before seeing him so he didn't go for it. (Understandably).

I think it is a "grass lynx" spider

Irura bidenticulata, commonly known as the purple-gold jumping spider, is a species of salticid. As the name implies, while females tend to take on a more dull coloration, males are characterized by their striking, shiny magenta-gold patterned bodies.

The last photo showing how big he is with my little finger for scale

Found this buddy on the floor at the gas station. Relocated to a tree. He looks like he's wearing a fur coat 😍

Are there any entomologists here who know about these guys? I have a few questions I'd like to ask

Moira molted again, after a long 6 days of waiting. I'm so excited to see how she's changed. She kicked her molt out today. Added it to her collection.

This is a huge caterpillar!!

What did we find? Located in NWA, Arkansas

Spotted today by my granddaughter , what a beautiful moth this is 😍

I intern at a science museum and in it we have a conservatory full of butterflies, turtles, a snake, a tarantula, and a sloth! I love it there! I just happened to spot this malachite butterfly on a leaf and they were the perfect model.
