Jelly in her disability adjusted enclosure.

She is one happy spood

Need a new plan to get rid of these micro terrors.

Weirdo decided to make a new hammock waaaay down at the bottom.

Cutie found in a raspberry, she was in the fridge and then put on top of ice cream but she was a trooper, alive and well even after all of that! Gave her some time to warm up and then put her near some tomato plants!

Absolutely could NOT resist getting one. Look how cute he is!!

The male peacock spider performs one of the most complex courtship displays in the animal kingdom.

Despite measuring only a few millimetres, he puts on an extraordinary performance to attract a female. He raises his brightly coloured abdominal flaps like a fan, waves his elongated legs and moves through a carefully choreographed series of steps. He also produces vibrations that travel through the ground, adding another layer to the display.

Each peacock spider species has its own distinctive colours, movements and courtship signals. The female watches closely and decides whether the male’s performance is convincing enough for her to accept him.

She keeps her front two legs raised to look like mandibles or antenna. Jumping spiders are amazing.
