Yeah, the astronaut is her little sister! She's the lander itself, and has memorized "it's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" -- the costume was inspired by this book, which I can't recommend enough: https://www.amazon.com/Armstrong-Ordinary-People-Change-World/dp/0735228728/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=neil+armstron+kids&qid=1571626171&sr=8-1-spell

If you like this caption for this particular (gorgeous) photo, I highly recommend reading the scifi novel <em>Children Of Time</em> by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's one of my favorites and the second book in the series, Children Of Ruin, just came out and it's great too!

"Haha! This'll scare the bejeebers out of Bob!"

"Dammit, Steve. You KNOW we're exoskeletal."

&quot;But I saw it at Wal-Mart!&quot;

Well she's fat and kind of old (I estimate she's 1.5 years, which is old for a jumping spider) so that helps, I don't let the younger ones out most of the time. I wrote a draft of a pet keeping guide but it's kind of a mess https://www.gitbook.com/book/melissamcewen/jumping-spider-salticidae-care-and-keeping/details

Not really “aww” but if you’re fascinated by this incredibly unique crustacean and like sci-fi, I’d highly recommend the book Fragment by Warren Fahy. It’s about a small island that has been on a separate evolutionary path than the rest of the world where most of the fauna are descendants of mantis shrimp. Very Jurassic Park-esque

> rabbits are considered cute, as are other rodents.

Rabbits are not rodents. Cats, cane toads and foxes have done far worse in AU than rabbits ever dreamed of doing.

>lagomorph (order Lagomorpha), any member of the mammalian order made up of the relatively well-known rabbits and hares (family Leporidae) and also the less frequently encountered pikas (family Ochotonidae).

They have like this bizarre cartilidge vertical column that, while not a spine, apparently classifies it as a vertebrate.

I mean, they're still adorable, and I'm pretty sure they lack actual bones, but they're vertebrates. =[

This was taken with my cell phone and a $13 clip on lens

Edit: though to be fair, it is a pretty new 400 cell phone...

I actually got this set for the telephoto lens for bird creeping, and then started using the macro lens for spider creeping. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0798H1YYF/

There are some cheaper solo macro lenses on amazon that probably work just as well.

They don't seem to care much about their habitat, but I prefer to use butterfly habitats like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWTCJBL/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_dl_2GVZW47N4H7GE32YSRM3 That way I can easily extricate them from whatever silly fly situations they get into, the most recent being getting stuck on his back. I have a paper towel that I change out once in a while on the top where they get water, and I smear fruit juice and/or honey near the top, in the mesh, and I try to mist them once a day. I also put small pieces of paper in the bottom so they can have things to explore and hide in

They are great assassins tho! They octokitty analogy is apt: salticids are often compared to cats, due to their impressive hunting ability. Their vision in daylight is even better than cats, and they can even do advanced, cat-like things, such as see prey, break line of sight, then circle around to attack from behind.

Guys, you can order one ON AMAZON: Live Desert Ironclad Beetle - Blue Death Feigning Beetle - Educational and Fun - Easy Care! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J2CC4FQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_58SB8Y00GXNY26WSR5N8

Roaches are very interesting creature afterall. Sure, nobody likes to have an infestation in the house but still most of them are very cute. If you wanna know more this book is a very good start. [i’m sure you can find a free pdf online somewhere]

So did I, all my life! Never found one. So I did the only logical thing. I ordered a culture on Amazon lol. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0732J1LPL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

>ing about having spiders as pets. I was curious, do they ever seem to bond with their owners? Or like at least reco

There is some scientific evidence that tarantulas are capable even of higher order learning, including reversal learning! Currently I'm successfully experimenting with R+ training on mine and Pokerface, the one you see on this pic, especially loves to solve puzzle feeders , which is an EXTREMELY difficult task for a sit-and-wait-predator!

I highly recommend this book if you're interested in that topic: https://www.amazon.de/Spider-Behaviour-Marie-Elisabeth-Herberstein/dp/0521749271

You should try this inexpensive macro lens. The rubber band wraps around your phone and is portable and light. The pictures are decent too, if you have enough light and stabilize yourself somehow.

Absolutely!

If you don't have a filter running, doing frequent water changes (~50% every other day) and being obsessive about removing old food/waste/shells (morning and night) can keep your water clean and your triops happy. The one here is in a 2 gallon tank with a powerfilter running at a dribble to not disturb the triops. I had trouble with algae, but that was a delicate balance between the triops need for 12 hours of bright direct light and not giving the algae enough light to bloom.

I got my eggs in a little kit from amazon.

I was referring to the magnification ratio. Sure it's also the aperture but that's what my lens says is its ratio. My understanding is 1:1 is the best you can do with lens alone and need accessories like extension tubes or snap on lenses for greater magnification...?
I'll be the first to admit I'm pretty lame with the tech/gearhead side to photography. Hopefully I'll fix that by the time I can afford to upgrade ;)

Texas.

My knowledge is based off of this book along with a summer of research on Texan coastal prairie katydid/grasshopper diets:

If I had to guess it looks like a young Concocephelus species/straight lanced meadow katy did http://bugguide.net/node/view/23961/bgimage
