here’s the Neon nelli I found yesterday! maybe one of the smallest jumping spiders in the area, but this little guy is an adult male (I’m pretty sure).

a very calm spider, he mostly wandered around flagging his front legs and settling down in crevices. ignored these tiny mites that scurried in front of him, deep in thought

superb little man, all five molecules of him

I mentioned I’d left out a huntsman spider I saw in Malaysia in the post below, and here it is! I spotted it on a rock beneath a small cave or overhang while on a night walk.

this one had everything; legspan, “teleportation” speed, and gorgeous colors. didn’t like me very much, though!

if you notice that its left leg 3 is slightly shorter and a different color, that’s most likely because it was lost a few molts ago, but grew back over the course of said molts & is almost good as new.

Gasteracantha cancriformis, a common but always striking species of spiny orbweaver. while a diversity of color forms exist elsewhere, I’ve only found the white and red morph when I visit Florida

trying to identify worms but they aren’t being easy… they are quite photogenic though. pretty sure the huge brown one is a different species from the smaller red one
