[World Spider Catalog @WSC_NMBE]

Hi Spider people, and soon Arachnid people!

Today we already have data on our #worldspidercatalog (version 23.0) of more than 50100 spider species!

And we continue to grow in giant steps!

What do you think people?

Qué piensa la gente?

[Steen Dupont @LegoMoth]

Some will never finish the work set out to be done. Not because we didn't try but because the work is larger that any of us. Taxonomy is one such thing. #midjourney #taxonomy

Marpissa nivoyi (Salticidae)!

[TurnFear2Fascination 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇱🕷️ @Tone_Killick]

I found Marpissa nivoyi for the first time back in April at Berrow Dunes, Somerset. All specimens were tiny juveniles. Returned to Berrow last weekend and had the privilege of finding many adults of this Nationally scarce species 😀 #TurnFear2Fascination #LoveSpiders

[World Spider Catalog @WSC_NMBE]

There are many spiders to describe, especially in tropical countries 🕸️🕷️🦂

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

There is no future.

There is no past.

There is only now.

And there it goes.

[Spidy @VishnuH67707449]

An epic jumper😜... Epeus sp. @LBrianPatrick @BritishSpiders @Biodiversity001 @Todomi_spider @keralabio @AAS_arachnology @WSC_NMBE

[World Spider Catalog @WSC_NMBE]

And not only on pseudoscorpions!

What do you think, arachno-people?

[🕷️William Galvis🕷️ @4r4cn3]

I know of some cases, and not only in the old world...

This is one of the great brakes (the egomania of some) that prevent the advancement of sciences and the knowledge of species, especially in those regions with an enormous biological diversity.

IMPRESIONANTE FOTO!

Impressive pics on salticid predation!

The World Spider Catalog is a fantastic resource. It catalogues all known spider species (now>50,000) and tracks the latest changes resulting from taxonomic research. You can find it at https://t.co/b98ocsDABg

[World Spider Catalog @WSC_NMBE]

A really, really beautiful beast of its micro ecosystem!

The new Australian Maratus nubilis (Salticidae)!

I wouldn't want to be around this 🦖 being a micro fly 😁

[Martin A. Nuñez @Martin_A_Nunez]

PI: Should we add field assistants as co-authors?

Co-PI: mmm... They did not write anything... You know that writing is the hardest part!

PI: OK!

Field assistants 👇🏿

Really nice paper made with really nice spiders!

Sadala and da new Meri, Sparassidae, by Rheims & Jäger (2022)

[Tropical Andean Arachnids @ArachnoTrAC]

Rheims & Jäger (2022) revalidated the huntsman spider genus Sadala, describing three new species on it, and described the new Neotropical genus Meri, along with 20 new species! Also made some new taxonomic changes on these genera and Olios!

[World Spider Catalog @WSC_NMBE]

For 2021, there were described about 860 species more!!

[World Spider Catalog @WSC_NMBE]

Hi people, here again!

With great news: 2020 was apparently a better year for spider taxonomy.

With data for 2020, there were described about 977 species of spiders in the world, and the trend, fortunately, is upwards!

¡Spiders need you! ¡More & more!
