ok y'all need to come check out the Spiders: from Fear to Fascination exhibit at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences because it is so informative and includes a lot of interactive displays. @bwwilliams.bsky.social and I had a blast previewing it today ahead of its opening on Saturday!

jumping spider photogrammetry in progress! I've created a model of this particular spider but it's missing details on the underside so I'm getting better photos of it upside down to try and fill in the gaps
