@jim_starrett @SanJoseSharks See teaching intro zoology has been useful!

Gonna start referring to the song that bears the same name as the album it’s on as the “type song”

[Em Jochim @JochimEmma]

I’m pretty glad the study of evolution is just called “evolutionary biology” rather than “evolutionology”

[Em Jochim @JochimEmma]

@BugsOrBust Omg this is so good

[Em Jochim @JochimEmma]

@ForTheSpiders Very true they are so silly in the best way possible

[Em Jochim @JochimEmma]

A lot of Linyphiid carapaces look like someone was startled mid-drawing and instead of erasing the erratic line they just continued

@jilloberski and I mated our curly hair tarantulas (Tliltocatl albopilosus)! The babies are doing so well and if you're interested in the process so far, here's a video I made!

Thanks again for letting me talk about spiders and other arachnids!

[Bill Buchanan @Davisville]

There are no brown recluse spiders in California.

Nor do you swallow arachnids in your sleep.
