Amazing how I can instantly recognize a photo of mine I see on the web. Good to see people making use of my Creative Commons images.

I took a pic of a not-so-cute jumping spider with an oh-so-cute face. Should I show kids the spider or the pic first? (Same sp. as profile.)

Can I feed it? -@WillMcLean5 Feed spiders at your own risk. They may come to expect food, cease to scurry off, and show in numbers at meals.

Drats. The Hibana ghost spider that ran up my arm today does not look like either species shown on BugGuide. I should have photographed it.

.@Luna_Manar Also, while removing long-sleeve shirt w spider, pull sleeves straight off, not allowing shirt to evert & press against spider.

.@Luna_Manar If a spider gets under long sleeves, try removing shirt w/out pressing arms to body or bending elbow to less than 90°.

Most spiders are not fond of how human skin feels and will jump or drop. Ghost spiders (Anyphaenidae) are an exception.

Good spider instinct: if you sort through mail and feel something race up your arm, twist your short sleeve to prevent entry. Worked for me.

I've captured on video the heartbeat of a wasp-paralyzed spider and will post it tomorrow. Poor spider.

Do wasps kill the spiders they sting and collect? I opened a wasp nest and am watching one such spider's heart beating.

That bronze little beauty officially ate 2 hours of my day. I even left the paperwork I was doing outside for that time.
