🚨Good news, everyone! 1) I'm thrilled to be joining the behavior powerhouse that is Indiana University!! So stoked, starting Jan 2026. 2) I'm recruiting grad students! Are you (or your trainee) interested in sensory ecology? behavior? evolution? fieldwork? spiders? Drop me a line Jstafstr(at)iu.edu

Okedoke, giving this app another shot. Really miss the art and science I used to see on Twitter. Here's a quick contribution: Net-casting spider + radial symmetry = seasonally appropriate image from upstate NY. Posting the original image too because I think it's also pretty cool :)

Buckle up, emojikitchen.dev isn't messing around. Combining spider emoji + cat/dog/bear gives you something predictably cute (or nightmare fuel depending on your taste). But spider + wolf emoji? You get a MORPHOLOGICALLY ACCURATE WOLF SPIDER. Even the eye arrangement is correct. Pure brilliance.
