Peep this gorgeous female #Lynxspider. Several of them have large spiny bristles on their legs and in many species the bristles form almost a basket-like structure that may assist in confining the prey that they grasp, and protect the spider from its struggles. (#Oxyopidae)

@drowsy_oak @crevicedwelling Thank you very much! Couldn't agree more. 😄

Full body shot of a female Cuban decorated tailless whip scorpion. Being on the smaller side of the #Amblypygid size spectrum, they certainly make up for it in sheer beauty, sporting a mix or orange, yellow, purple and blue hues... Talk about eye candy! (#Phrynusdamonidaensis)

One advantage of being a North American giant #millipede is that you don't need someone to have your back, you have your own! Reaching a length of 4 inches. They can be commonly found in or under decaying logs, primarily consuming decaying wood (#Narceusamericanus) #macro

@allisonstoiser That's phenomenal!

In the wonderful world of the predatory stink bug nymph, it's business in the front, party in the back. 😁 (#Pentatomidae sp.) #macro #wildlife #invert #entomology #insects #macrophotography #nature

What's two inches, red and has jaws that could crush a brick, well none other than the brown Prionid #beetle of coarse! ;-) (#Orthosomabrunneum) #macro #wildlife #invert #entomology #insects #macrophotography

Female (1st) & male (2nd) Blue Potter #Wasp -- Don't they make a great couple? 😉After mating, females capture #spiders and permanently paralyze them with venom. They will then lock up one or more prey with one of its eggs in mud cells. (#Chalybioncalifornicum) #macro #wildlife
