Micropanther…That is, indeed, the tiniest big cat I’ve ever seen 😂
Photo of a millipede on the shoulder of a road. It's about 3.5 cm long, the body armored with brown, overlapping plates. The rear edge if each plate is thinly lines in pale yellow. It has numerous, tiny legs, and it has 2 antennae protruding from its head.
Is it an aromatic cherry millipede (A. corrugata)? What do you think? And no, I didn't sniff it to find out. Photo taken in Central NY State #Invertebrate #Arthropod #EntomologySky 🧪

A house centipede on a white wall. The centipede is yellowish with several brown stripes. The large number of legs also alternate between yellow and brown. It is facing right with its tail at the center of the photo and its body curved upwards. Two long antennae stretch out of the picture at the far upper right.

I can’t decide if the placement of the words was incredibly poor planning on my part or whether it actually makes for a cool effect of the spider moving over the writing.

I'm even less familiar with arthropods, but they are hella fascinating.

“Six spotted Tiger Beetle” vs. “Six-spotted Tiger Beetle”…it’s amazing how much a hyphen changes the semantics of a phrase. 🐞🕷️
What time is it? It’s #Cheliceratime !

Coastal ruderal habitats in the Azores may serve as entry points for new #arthropod introductions, yet they're among the least studied #environments in the archipelago. The #PRIBES project is surveying arthropod communities across 7 islands for potential #invasiveness: doi.org/10.3897/BDJ....

Dark Fishing Spiders are the less nefarious cousins of the dark phishing spiders 😂🐞🕷️

Size : 3 to 4-ish cm of body length Time period : Late Cretaceous Paleoart speculativometer : Some Missing parts The animal drawn looks a bit like a boxy shrimp without antennae with an overall brown color
What time is it? It’s #Cheliceratime !
For this entry we're talking about a cute little chasmataspidid, Diploaspis casteri from the Devonian

“Greenhouse,” of course, should be one word. For the want of a font, the proper spelling was lost. (If nothing else, I crack myself up making stupid references and that means a win for the day #LifesLittleVictories) 🐞🕷️
An ink and colored pencils doodle of a white-jawed jumping spider, genus Hentzia, species mitrata

Maybe it’s white-jawed from clenching it too much due to stress? Or am I projecting? 🐞🕷️

This little dude hopes your day is less louse-y than his 😆 (but he wishes much worse for Commander Bone Spur).
