#InternationalJumpingSpiderDay you say?! A chance to share a photo of Zoey the Zebra Jumping #spider from earlier in the year, when she was living in our porch. Here she was climbing down one of the window panes. #arachtober #wildlifefrommywindow #invertebrates

A spider stands on a shiney black surface, staring at the camera with two large black eyes. She has two slightly smaller eyes to the outside of the main ones that give her her cute appearance. She is covered in dense hairs that give her a mottled appearance made up of white, blakc, and light brown colours.

Today, October 10, is International Jumping Spider Day, and it is also #Arachtober! I thought I'd mark the day by sharing this photo of a little Portia africana male on my hand. These little spiders have touched my life in so many ways 🕷️ #InternationalJumpingSpiderDay

A Noble False Widow #spider has taken up residence in our kitchen. I honestly think she might have been there 2yrs, which doesn't say much for my dusting. I love them, please ignore the scaremongering bollocks the tabloids print about them. #arachtober #wildlifefrommywindow #invertebrates

A square photo of a spider against a light brown wood background. She is viewed from above, sat in the bottom left corner of the frame, facing the top right corner. Her eight legs are bright red, her abdomen is dark brown with a crescent of white on the front edge of it and a pale white pattern in the middle.

A black-throated gray warbler for the #BirdSupermodel theme of #BirdOfTheDay To me, she looked like she was posing for an Audubon painting, except that JJ would probably have killed her first, as he typically would do with his models. #birds #nature #photography #ECK #UnsungBirds

Female black-throated gray warbler perched on a yellow lichen-covered branch and leaning down to grab a tiny bug. The bird is a female and therefore has a white throat. She is gray on top, white below and gray and white striped on the sides. The lore is bright yellow.

I found this cut little burrowing wolf spider on one of my walks. She must have been used to foot traffic, inches from the sidewalk, so I saw her a few days and then I brought out my camera on Halloween night last year. Geolycosa riograndae #Arachtober #spider #macrophotography

A black spider with a large crimson red head and deep orange abdomen punctuated with two rows of black dots clasps a grasshopper, together with several grass spikelets. In the background are blurry green and yellow bitterweed flowers. These spiders are mimics of velvet ants, which are actually wasps with a painful sting.

A Cross Orbweaver #spider (Araneus diadematus) in the garden. Rather than hide, this one is using her camouflage on a Queen Anne's Lace seed head to sit with a leg on her signal line, ready to scurry up her web when something arrives. #wildlifefrommywindow #arachtober #invertebrates #MacroMonday

A spider sits on a seed head that looks like it's made of a cluster of tiny clams with spikey shells (each one is about 2mm long). They're all light to mid brown. The spider is a similar colour, and is mainly side on, looking frm right to left in the frame. She has the two front legs closest the camera slightly outstretched as she balances herself. She needs to do this as the opposite two front legs are raised up, holding onto a signal line frm the centre of her web. She's waiting to feel vibrations that would indicate she has caught some prey. Her legs have thick dark and light brown stripes across them. Her head is clearly visible, covered in light brown hairs, and her abdomen is positioned so that the white spots that make the cross shape from which she gets her common name, are just visible against the chestnut brown surroundings.

When articles talk about the increase in disabled people but don’t mention Covid, I just have to wonder what level of denial is this? This is a subtweet of an expert I still respect but… & to be clear this person believes the newly IDed disabled ppl are truly disabled, that’s the point of the piece.

From a few weeks ago, an Ivy #Bee was feeding on the Marjoram (before the Ivy flowered). As he went from 🌸 to 🌸 he was oblivious to the Flower Crab #spider that lurked in wait. When it came to it, he was too quick and the spider went hungry. #wildlifefrommywindow #arachtober #invertebrates

A square photo of a woody brown stem of Marjoram with flower heads hanging off the side of it. They're light green with tiny white flowers at the end. The bee is hanging head down from the top most flower head, as it travels downwards to other flowerheads. The bee has thick pale yellow and black stripes on it's abdomen, and light grey fluffy hairs under its thorax. On the second lowest flower head, in the shade, is a small white crab spider. It is watching the bee approach with its front legs spread ready to pounce.

Looking down on an oval shaped puddle on a muddy woodland path. The winter trees around and above it are reflected in the collected rain water and a pale blue sky with cumulus clouds. A few golden brown leaves are floating in the puddle and strewn around in the mud.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. We've ~5 cats that visit our garden. It's really frustrating when you're trying to cultivate a safe space for nature. I like cats, but don't believe they should be allowed to roam. That's a can of worms though! One had a go at our 🐔s once, fortunately with no harm done.

Last day of our sale today 😊 Anyway, here's a Sunflower, still supporting wildlife at the end of September🌻 In this one shot I've counted 1 Bumblebee, 4 Hoverflies, 1 unidentified bug and at least 8 flies of various species 😍 I don't know who had a good feed on the leaf 😂🐛 #MHHSBD

A big, bright Sunflower with bright yellow petals and a yellow centre.
One leaf is visible that has been munched by someone unknown, probably a caterpillar.
The flower has many different insects visiting and is against a bright blue sky, crossed by a black telephone cable.
