Did you know it's #BeKindToSpidersWeek? Did you know they're a vital part of our ecosystem? DID YOU KNOW I LOVE THEM??

If you're apt to find arachnids altogether alarming I hope that for #BeKindToSpidersWeek you might give these helpful, insect-eating critters a 2nd chance(instead of your shoe). Maybe get a🕷️tattoo on your hand to conquer your fear - it worked so well for Ed!😺

The Joro is an invasive species. Since it eats pests other predators won’t there is still speculation on if it will benefit rather than be a detriment to the ecosystem. #bekindtospidersweek #bekindtospidersweek2024 #goldenorbwebspider #jorospider #naturejournaling #arthistoryscienceandmystery
