The Entomology/Arachnology Thread (No Gastropods, plz!)

Post your exoskeleton'd & many-legged creature-pics! (No gastropods!) Here're a couple cool local spiders I found up-close even:

Phiddipus audax

Bold-Jumper Spider


This is the female (left) of the family here in the midst of clearing a panel-glass door of all other life (that's another spider it's got hold of there), and the male (right) just hanging solo on some otherwise suspiciously lifeless vinyl siding. About the size of a quarter (legs included), these are strong/sturdy little beasts with super-quick reflexes which make for awesomely robotic twitch-movements. (They move backwards a lot.) Chelicerae (mouthparts) are an iridescent green colour for the female (hard to make out in-pic), whereas the male is overall more grey/beige with very detailed symmetrical markings.

These have not been seen around these parts until recently (probs thx to climate change!), so human_residents of Southern Ontario, hope you'll have a nice time with your new little friends :)
