I grabbed a large male midge from a wall nearby—they're still swarming—and slowly waved it in front of the hole. A surprisingly large bold jumping spider (_Phidippus audax_) emerged, seized it from my fingers, and went back in. Then she turned around and sat as before, with her head just out of the hole, eating the midge. (2/2)
Yesterday I was walking past the Sunnyside pavilion when out of the corner of my eye I saw something retreat into a hole in a bike post… (1/2)
After the excitement with the wasp - have the world's cutest jumping spider, a likely Attulus pubescens. (Same location as the one in my avatar, only four years later.) #Derbyshire, May 2025.

Is #macroMonday a thing? Apparently so. A jumping spider - likely Salticus scenicus - on an old stone wall. #Derbyshire, May 2025.

It’s not every week that #RNZ has a story about spider genitalia. This is such a week. Kate Curtis, a current PhD student at #LincolnUniversityNZ, has been hard at work figuring out all of the jumping spiders we have in Aotearoa-NZ. There’s estimated to be about 200 (most of them) that need scientific names. Figuring out which is which requires careful microscope work looking at spider genitalia. Along the way Kate’s finding new species.

BioOne CompleteDevelopment and reproduction in the synanthropic spiders Steatoda bipunctata and S. triangulosa (Araneae: Theridiidae)Closely related spiders often exhibit similarities in traits such as development, morphology and behaviour. Here, we compared development, adult body size and reproduction in two closely related spiders, the rabbit hutch spider, Steatoda bipunctata, and that triangulate cobweb spider, S. triangulosa (Araneae: Theridiidae). Both species are native to Eurasia and synanthropic, often co-occurring in the vicinity of human habitation. Development time from neonate to adult was similar in both species. Both species exhibited sexual-size dimorphism, where females were larger than males. Although females were also approximately the same body size, male S. bipunctata were significantly larger than male S. triangulosa. Mean brood sizes were also larger in S. bipunctata than S. triangulosa over the first seven egg sacs. Our results show that some traits in these two species overlap considerably, but with some differences such as in the degree of sexual size dimorphism and male morphology.
Unusual angled spider shot. It looks to be setting up a lair on the car’s antenna fin.

Not far off, but a bush away, this jumping spider, dragging rather large chelicers – the mouth appendages. I wonder what's up with that?
Zebra jumping spider, Salticus scenicus.
