Lolth, the juvie A. geniculata, molted yesterday. I’m always so fascinated by how clear she looks right after a molt.

In my absence I added a few more #tarantulas to the critter room.

Meet my Caribena versicolor! They’re only about 2cm for now and will lose their pretty blue color as they grow into a fluffy, multicolored adult.

I managed to get a picture just moments before they flew at a juicy meal 🥰

Rehoused spiders today and only had one anxiety-inducing escape attempt 😮‍💨

In equally interesting news, my foray into macro photography is going better than expected. What do you think?

When I hear music...

Eventually I will get better at macro photography & take really incredible pictures of tiny little creatures, but for right now every blurry picture I take makes me laugh.
