Soh Kam YungAn interesting moth with patterns that resemble a spider from certain angles."[Gil Wizen] It is only when the moth is at rest and viewed at a specific angle that an image is revealed. I didn’t really think much of this moth when I saw it, and took only a couple of photos, but when I finally got to edit them at home I gasped. “Is that… a SPIDER?"<a href="https://gilwizen.com/eusceptis-effusa/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gilwizen.com/eusceptis-effusa/</a><a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moths</a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiders</a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Mimicry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mimicry</a>

🦅 🪿RKeller Photography🏳️‍🌈The joy of photography is having infinite subjects. The tragedy of photography is not having enough time to photograph them all. This is from two yrs ago.

rspI ran across this fantastic scientific illustration on Wikimedia: dissection of the European garden spider Araneus diadematus (=Epeira diadema), circa 1902.The artist, Paul Pfurtscheller (1855-1927), taught biology classes until his retirement in 1911. His artwork was done in the form of wall charts to support his teaching lessons. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Pfurtscheller" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Pfurtscheller</a><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/NaturalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturalHistory</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiders</a>

MissConstrueSo, apparently, if you ever want to scare a group of workmen, mention that you have tarantulas in the attic, and request that they just shoo them out of the way if they see them. To be fair, they mostly hide from people, but I like my tarantulas and don’t want them squished. Plus, they’re the reason I don’t have a mouse problem in the attic. <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiders</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/tarantulas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tarantulas</a>
