Okay, a few things here that may surprise you.
1. Yes, that scale bar is correct.
2. Yes, this is an adult.
3. No, this is not a linyphiid.

Theonoe stridula female from southern NY.

Tiny + adorable.

*stupid guy driving and flashing his brights at me for no reason*

Me “ he doesn’t know I’m listening to Audioslave and could kick his ass.”

@BRVogt I planted some this year!

Do you Veronicastrum virginicum?

[Marc A. Milne @ForTheSpiders]

It's sad that it's very dangerous to care about the world around you and to try and do something to protect it.

[Marc A. Milne @ForTheSpiders]

The wetland-inhabiting spider aptly named, Ceraticelus limnologicus.

All I want for Christmas this year is 50% of the lawns in my city turned into biodiverse, air cleaning, air cooling, stormwater mitigating, carbon sequestering, drought tolerant, pollinator and bird supporting meadows.

Unlawn America.

@ForTheSpiders Burning bush??

[Joey Santore @JoeySantore]

Meet the world's tiniest conifer, Lepidothamnus laxifolius, growing here on the cold slopes of an active volcano on New Zealand's North Island. The family Podocarpaceae is thought to have diverged from its sister family, Araucariaceae in the Permian, 250 million years ago.

Heuchera richardsonii. Drought tolerant. Nice contrast to grass foliage. Solid fall color. Better than lawn.

Zizia aurea, yo. Try it.

It's my day bitches

[Marc A. Milne @ForTheSpiders]

Super rare tree-dwelling spiders! Two @uindy Honors students and I worked for a few years on this paper, studying collection specimens, illustrating and photographing these rare critters, and sequencing COI to get this revision correct. It was a fun one!

When you find out all your hard work and research is getting published AND your best friends name is next to yours.

@MarsRoverMapper I just had a bloody in this glass hahaha there are children playing in the bar right now too 😂

[Toxicodendron radicans @t_abee33]

You know you’re in Wisconsin when you’re drinking a beer at the bar and a child is sitting across from you.

[Toxicodendron radicans @t_abee33]

@MarsRoverMapper I’m at some place that’s called Grateful Shed and it’s blowing my mind 😂 there’s a whole ass bus above the bar you can sit in
