about 2cm in length, sacramento county californiq
Ohh a big jumper friend! Really nice, 10/10, would befriend this dude. Looks like
Menemerus semilimbatus. No common name as far as I know. These dudes have incredible pedipalps that make them look like they have little mustaches or beards
This wee Pacific Northwest spider says hello!
Beautiful little zebra jumper! I think this is the first I’ve ever had submitted which is strange since they are fairly common. Welcome to the bug party, zebra pal. My fav part about zebra jumpers is their long pedipalps that make them look like they’re anxiously wringing their hands in front of their face.
Speaking of faces can you imagine not loving this precious face???
Ahhhhh! Too cute I can’t handle it I need to go

sweater weather is upon us once again, so it’s time to introduce you to a tiny fuzzy creature to warm your soul and make you go
✨💖💖AWWWWWWW💖💖✨ (dramatization)
also, I feel like this tiny fuzzy creature should have legs. LOTS of legs. at least 7.
the Mustache Spider (Phidippus mystaceus) is a type of Jumping Spider native to the southern US. Like all Jumping Spiders, they have four pairs of kind and loving eyes, excellent and forgiving vision, and soft, strokeable fur covering their tiny adorable bodies (though tragically, since the larger females reach a maximum length of about 1 cm, they are too small to snuggle).
A TRAGEDY BEYOND COMPARE
the Mustache Spider gets its name from the fancy facewear that female spiders sport (say that five times fast)
it’s not known why exactly these spiders go in for a lovely fashionable pencil mustache, but some theories include that it’s because it’s “simply smashing” or “absolutely delightful” or “almost inutterable fancy” (my theories. these are my theories)
oh so dapper! she’ll be tying a helpless maiden to a train track any moment now
sadly, the male Mustache Spiders do lack this distinguished facewear, though they still have those tufts of fur that kind of look like kitty ears
nyah, ma’am
like all Jumping Spiders, the Mustache Spider is an adaptable ambush predator that will hunt anything it can get the drop on.
it stalks its prey (like a cat) and wiggles its tiny fluffy butt (like a cat) just before it pounces many times the length of its own body, pinning its helpless victim (like a cat) and injecting a paralyzing venom that liquefies the prey’s insides, which it slurps up with its hollow fangs (like a cat)
this being said, the Mustache Spider is completely harmless to humans (though they would totally hurt a fly).
in fact, Mustache Spiders are often curious about humans! like all Jumping Spiders, Mustache Spiders are intelligent enough to solve puzzles, watch nature videos and observe you observing them for no other reason than they think humans are neat.
Giant Hairless Ape is my favorite show
who knows, maybe they think we’re as adorable as we think they are.
wouldn’t that be something
An Arachnid with the head of a black dog, is neither a spider, nor a dog.
Photographed by Natural Scientist Andreas Kay, this relative of the daddy long legs has evolved (for unknown reasons) black protrusions on the top of its body.
It can be found in the Amazon Rainforest and is a type of Bunny Harvestman and a relative of the daddy long legs, meaning that is does not posses venom glands and is actually harmless to humans - despite looking so scary.

Most girls like her didn’t like the way they looked and hardly recognized themselves in the mirror, but Claudia was different. She liked to admire herself, and why not? She was a sight to behold.
At a mature 21 years old, she was no longer in her prime, but she had several years left to look forward to and could still attract the attention of younger males. She had a classic Mexican movie star beauty that would always be striking, if not in fashion. Her curves were rounded and well-developed. She turned a little to the side, standing on the tips of her toes to examine the full swell of her abdomen and the slender length of her graceful legs. She was not perfect, but then again, she’d yet to met anyone who could truthfully claim otherwise. Her form pleased her well enough, and she relaxed back onto her silken sheets.
She stared into the mirror in the corner and her own dark eyes stared back, small and close-set and glittering with unspoken thoughts. Her hair was dark and glossy, with strips of bright, coppery red for contrast. She kept it spiked in the back, in a pixie-like style she liked to believe said “don’t mess with me” that often irritated people. Her mouth was small and pink, tucked neatly away beneath her cephalothorax and protected by a pair of firm, pendulous chelicerae of even size, nicely separated and tipped with hard, pointy fangs. Her pedipalps were unusually sensitive. Her spinnerets were delicate and deft, but she usually kept them tucked away close to her abdomen.
Claudia was a strong, independent tarantula, and this post is only funny to spider enthusiasts who hate when women are written this way.
A creature designed to be “cute”, created by a god that does not fully understand what “cute” looks like to humans.

A li'l Bold Jumping Spider. More pics of this li'l friend, too (because I’m sad I can only add one pic to submissions).
AS: Cuuuuute! oh man what a great picture!

I think that Phoenix is the sort of person who would refer to himself as “Esquire” only as a joke, to the point that he sometimes forgets it genuinely applies to him. On the other hand, I think Miles is the sort of person who actually does use “Esq.” as part of his title in professional emails, even if he rolls his eyes a bit at it/never refers to himself that way while talking
Anyways, the entire purpose of this post was this: Phoenix making fun of Miles because he signed something as “Miles Edgeworth, Esq.” only for Miles to turn around and go, “The title applies to you as well.” And the smile slipping off of Phoenix’s face as he realizes that he only ever referred to himself as “Esquire” as a joke because he never thought of himself as being an actual lawyer (and yet Miles considered him a real lawyer anyways)
Plus: if this happens during the trilogy, you get the bonus of Phoenix feeling like he’s still just a rookie vs. Miles thinking of him as someone who saved his life; if this happens during the 7yg, it’s Miles slipping up and forgetting that Phoenix is disbarred; and if it happens post-AJ, it’s Phoenix realizing that oh right, he is a lawyer again
