And one more baby!

Evarcha arcuata

This tiny baby won't be much bigger even when it's fully grown. Coming in at only about half a centimeter to a centimeter in length when fully grown, this tiny spider comes in brown and white for girls and glossy black and copper for boys. This one's still a baby and it's a little hard to say what it is, but I think it's probably a boy. Here's another look at the tiny thing:

Evarcha arcuata

I love all your posts!!!

At one point, can you make a post devoted to adult housecats? People are so bad about adopting grown-up cats instead of kittens.

Oh, absolutely! I've done a pitbull post before for much the same reasoning- they do deserve more positive attention, and kittens are cute but there are definitely benefits to adopting a more mature animal. You can bet that there'll be a few lovely black cats in there as well. It's a shame, but adult black cats (black / brown dogs, too) usually have a hard time finding families since most people tend to prefer the more colourful babies. Any animal having a good home is a great thing, of course, but it'd be nice if they could all get the love they deserve.

As someone who has a black cat and has had others in the past, agreed. I may have a positive bias towards them due to her, she's snuggly and precious and absolutely pretty (silky black fur and bright green eyes and is as lively and healthy as a one-year-old - at nine and a half). Love the black cats!

(Icon relevent - he's one I had years ago, now passed on :( )

SA

I have a black cat myself, and have had two others over the years. They are the most sweet-tempered cats I have ever met. They really should be taken home more often. Bombay cats, for example, are specifically known to be very good with children. Thank you in advance for including them!!!

The best, friendliest animals I ever lived with were all dark (brown, black, or mix) so if I were to look for another pet I'd go for the black or brown ones first. I mentioned this to an animal-rescue person once and they were so surprised - apparently the dark ones are hardest to adopt anywhere and at any time, and more often than not they're the ones who get euthanized or labeled as unadoptable.

So yes, more love for black and brown cats and dogs!

My little sister got a Maine Coon couple months ago.

Dat guy has da kawaiist ears. Your picture didn't capture just how cool they are.

I'm sorry! Would this show off those famous ears a little better?

Yes!

You've gone above and beyond.

I think you've finally broken me. I found those spiders infinitely more adorable than the kittehs. I just want to coo at them!

Hee hee hee- I mean, good! Spiders are sweet things- check out my reply to

mekkio, I can definitely tldr on them a fair bit. I'm fond of them myself, but I know they're not for everyone. Even so, the diversity they exhibit is very fascinating!

kitties kitties kitties ♥ ♥ ♥

I actually went, "Awwww" with the first spider pic. You are amazing.

Well, I like to think of spiders as eight legged helpful web-spinning usually venomous... cats, so maybe not that much like cats after all. I can't say this for all spiders, though, but jumping spiders are definitely curious little buggers. Stand close enough to them or dangle a finger about one, and it'll probably start staring and working out a way to jump on you because hello what is this strange big blobby thing that has suddenly entered its world???

Spiders really can't tell or identify humans- we're way too big for them! Like some kind of odd moving mountain. It's the same in the sense that we simply wouldn't be able to take in the size of a huge hill at one go and only see a bit at once; spiders are the same with regards to people. At most, they only see a bit of you and depending on their nature, might either be scared and ball up then run away when they think you're not looking, be scared and just run away or be curious and hop over and investigate (Jumping spiders. Always. I have yet to find an un-curious one, photographing them is a problem when they keep trying to jump on the camera).

Also, a spider really won't bite unless it feels actively threatened. Venom is important to them and they wouldn't want to waste it! Also, 'big huge blobs' really don't register as food. If you can see a spider, that's a good thing! Chances are it doesn't really want to have anything to do with you, so just scoop it up into a cup and let it out. Most spiders are pretty neutral / friendly towards people, and they also eat bugs, so they're good little critters in my books.

I must have annoyed the crap out of a spider then once... I was bitten 7+ times in my sleep up one arm starting from my hand to my shoulder... I was very lucky it wasn't anything serious.

Honestly, most spider bites aren't serious! But if it was in your sleep then... chances are you might have been squashing one a bit. They really only bite when feeling threatened and cornered or when hunting for food, other than that spiders would normally prefer to run. Even the most aggressive spiders only are so when they feel as if they're threatened- it's the same with many other animals, they'll usually try other things (like being all !! aaa and head-bonking you, in the case of bees) before resorting to biting to get away. That's why I'd say if you can see a spider, it's probably no harm to you- it's when you can't or don't notice one and inadvertently threaten it that there could be a problem.

Oh I have no doubt that it was threatened by me... I just wish it had decided that preserving it's venom was more important than biting me -.-

All the adorable babies! :D

Dangit! This post really reminds me of the time my family adopted a street cat that died of old age. How I wish my father wasn't so harsh on cats...
:(
