The wasp mantisfly, Climaciella brunnea, is not a wasp, a mantis, or a fly. It is instead a type of spider-eating lacewing that keeps itself safe by looking like it has a painful sting, which is does not. Evolution continues to be marvelous. 🧪 #Entomology

A wee jumping spider in Brazil's Parque Nacional das Emas, the country's least-visited national park. Overall the ecosystem is a tropical savanna called cerrado. I saw this very pretty little spider in a small patch of humid forest.

Ireland is the home of possibly the most docile invertebrate fauna in the world. Very little here is poisonous or venomous to the extent that humans need to worry. Steatoda nobilis (Noble False Widow Spider), however, was first recorded in Ireland in the 1990s. 1/4

Behold! The man! The myth! The legend! (His name is Grandpa Hamburger) #toad #yellowspottedtreetoad

Of all my photos, this is easily my favourite I've ever taken. This amphipod is legitimately about 1mm in size. So small your eyes can't make out any details on it. They refuse to sit still. They run away from the light. It just looks like a grain of sand. Genuinely a 1 in a million shot.

it's everyone's favorite animal, pauropod you love pauropod

Look at our gorgeous boy Neptune 😍 he's such a cutie 🩵 #jumpingspider #cute

Some of what I do as an entomology curator is Chrysis management.
