Day 186 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 🙀

Peanut isn’t just grooming, he’s reminding us to slow down 💛 Jumping spiders clean to stay aware, safe, and grounded in their world

Maybe we could all take a note from that today. If he can pause… so can you #jumpingspider

Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠

A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home!
