#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.

Got my stickers from the Wild Green Future charity battle. God, I fucking love the internet. If you have a Facebook, you should really be in Wild Green Memes for Ecological Fiends so you can participate in our charity battle this year!!
A line of four square stickers, each displaying a different strange collection of flora and fauna. Left to right: a sticker showing raptors of both the dinosaur and bird variety with #GBRC representing team Girl Boss Raptor Chapter, a purple sticker covered with moths and dark colored animals for Goth Gang, a blue sticker with silly doodles of sharks on it for At Least 67 Practicing Shark Experts, and a sticker showing a trash can with animals notorious for eating trash for Trash Mob.
