Hello! Sorry about yesterday's post being a little late, I'm afraid I napped right through the normal time and didn't realize until way after. Today, though, I have lambs! I'm actually kind of surprised I haven't really done them before- considering that we've had horses and snakes and ducks and scorpions and all sorts of things, but not these.

Anyway, let's get to them!

But of course, we're not done yet!













Here's today's spider-


source

Plexippus paykulli, a true city dweller! This is one spider that you're more likekly to find inside your house than out in the woods. It's fairly easy to spot, though- not just because of its distinctive colouring but also because it likes to wait around light sources to nab insects that fly too close. They're about a centimeter in length, which is large enough to easily be seen. These spiders are also pretty smart and successful hunters; they'll go after anything from tiny flies to cockroaches that are more than twice their size, and make a good job of it, too.

Baby sheep are adorable but apparently now I find big spider eyes and lashes the most squee worthy thing ever. :D

[cloud_riven]

The spider lashes are adorable. And they kind of make me want to commit the kind of animal cruelty that involves putting mascara on them to brighten up those eyes even more

animal pic thread is very good at skewing the perception of adorbs. Thank you joltymcjolterson ♥

[mekkio]

So many adorable, knobby knees!

"So, what was in today's animal pictures?"
"Oh, mutton..."

[(Anonymous)]

Oh stop it you, I'm already salivating from hunger ;)

[riddian]

That first spider picture--its eyes are hypnotizing! :O And the colors are so lovely!

I was wondering, can you help me identify a jumping spider I saw recently?It had a lovely red abdomen that was bordered with white, it was very active and wiggled its furry grey palps a lot. It was so cute and I want do find out what it was, but I don't even know where to start looking for a spider identification guide! D: Is there an index of spider species somewhere?

[joltymcjolterson]

Er... that's not very specific. If you could give me the size and where in the world you happen to be that'd help a bit, though! If I had to identify it just based on what you've said, I'd hazard a guess that it could probably have been either Phidippus johnsoni, Phidippus carneus, or even Phidippus adumbratus, since they're all fairly common in North America which is where most people are from. Size and range is important because sometimes they can look similar, but P. johnsoni is usually under a centimetre and a half while P.. carneus is over that.

As for where to find information on bugs, I'd say bugguide.net (which I linked to) would generally be a good start! That and google is about all I could really point you to.

Hope that helped!

EDIT: Check out the insignarius group of Phidippus spiders! It was possibly one of them, they fit the red / white thing you described the best.

[riddian]

*headdesks at self* Oh man, I was totally going to mention location and then forgot! I feel silly. It was in southern Arizona.

From this I would say it was almost definitely Phidippus adumbratus! Thanks, you are super helpful! :D *bookmarks the bugguide site*

[cakemage]

Those lambs are so cute that I am torn between my desire to hug them and my desire to eat them.

[(Anonymous)]

Do both - hug them, then eat them!
