This Spider Had an Extra Limb (And It Gets Weirder)
https://youtu.be/KfN-cTGscQ4?si=WXnV8aaq_O0GvpFu
Every jumping spider is unique, but Nemo’s journey has been one of the most unusual we’ve experienced as spider keepers.
When Nemo reached around i4, we noticed something strange… he had an extra limb. We expected it to correct itself during a future moult, but the anomaly stayed with him all the way until his mature moult.
What happened next surprised us even more.
During that moult, Nemo removed one of his fully functioning legs, while keeping the non-functioning limb instead. About a week later, he also managed to snag off one of his pedipalps.
Moments like these remind us that while we can observe and learn from jumping spiders, we can never fully know why they make the decisions they do. What we do know is that these tiny animals are far more adaptable and intelligent than they’re often given credit for.
In this video we talk about:
- Nemo’s unusual limb anomaly
- What happens during jumping spider moults
- Why spiders sometimes remove limbs
- What Nemo’s journey taught us as keepers
Jumping spiders constantly surprise us, and Nemo is a perfect example of just how fascinating these tiny creatures can be 🥹

“would you still love me if I was a worm?”
I’d eat you. I’m eating you. You know this.
I give the same answer every time and you cry every time.
You’ve seen me eat mealworms before.
I love you so much that I’d eat you if it was more convenient.
In-fact, If you ever plan on dying make sure I can eat atleast part of your body. I’d like the heart the most obviously.
Just in case tho, if do become a worm or any other bug, would you rather be chewed or swallowed?

Making out with a spider girl that holds your head in place with her pedipalps.
Making out with a centipede girl that bites your lips with her mandibles, holds your head in place with her maxilla and presses her forcipules against your throat.
Making out with a wasp girl that uhh ummm uhh…
uhh… holy shit.

mióta olvastam, hogy a pókok megtanulják az ember ritmusát és igyekeznek ahhoz igazítani a saját aktivitásukat promtolom a vécében a pókot! akár milyen világos is van mindig felkapcsolom a villanyt, hogy tudja hogy jövök. ma reggel az első pisinél volt egy kis izgatott hálómászás meg kapkodás de amúgy működik!!! azóta szépen elment a helyére és békésen pókoskodik, kucorog. csodás lenne, ha ilyen maradna a kapcsolatunk!

New Kid
Anthony Vaughn x Black Fem!Reader
Summary: You’re the new kid at Hartley High. You’ve only been there for less than two hours and it seems like this is gonna be a whirlwind experience.
Heartbreak High
Anthony Vaughn x Reader
You shrugged your backpack onto your shoulders as your moms car pulled to a halt. “You ready?”,your mom asks glancing over at you. “Yup. So ready”,You groan. “Mom what if you just homeschool me”,You sigh. “Y/n I can’t. I work full time”, she looks over at you. “Ugh fine. I’ll just be the random fat black girl who shows up junior year. And it doesn’t help that I’m American” ,you groan.
“Y/n you’re fine. You’re pretty and people are gonna love you. And I would’ve killed for your body when I was your age.”,your mom goes on. “Okay gross..getting out now”,you open the car door. You step out of the car before taking a deep sigh.
You were ready for hell, that’s what highschool was anyway. You walked further into the gated off highschool, confused and lost at the amount of students in the busy hallway. You spot a black guy with a black and white sleeveless top and a ginger haired girl with a flower in her hair
“Hopefully they’re friendly faces rather than not”,you think to yourself.
“Excuse me, do you know where the office is? I’m new here”,you voice. “Hmmmm that’s an accent we don’t see often. You’re a rare one, eh?”,the guy says. You’d been here at least two weeks or so, and you’d gotten accustomed enough to the accent difference.
“I’m Quinni! And this is Darren!”,the ginger haired girl voices in an excited tone. “I’m Y/n.”,you voice, sticking out your hand in the formal way your mom taught you. Quin shakes your hand while Darren just gives you a smile.
“Okay the office is straight that way and you’re gonna make a left it’ll be right there.”, Daren advises. “Thank you! See you later”, you wave before heading off.
Within a few minutes you’re in the principals office. “So Y/n I see you’re a tad late. But that is completely fine. Here’s your class schedule, your locker number and combination. And you can head to your locker I will assign a student in your year to show you around”,She explains.
“Thank you Woodsy”,you say slightly confused at the nickname she’d told you to call her by. “ No problem you can wait outside in the lobby.”,she nods. You give one back.
You’re sitting in the lobby for at least 40 minutes and getting more agitated by the minute.
A guy walks in looking drugged out of his mind. He looks how you feel on the inside. He plops down next to you before muttering, “Do you hate me also?”, in the saddest tone you’ve ever heard. “No? Are you okay?”,you ask.
And from that moment on it was history. You and Anthony Vaughn were destined

I love being crazy and having super weird but very real dreams. I can actually go fuck myself and it’s so fun. Sometimes there’s 2 of me in a dream and I experience both consciousness’ simultaneously.
Naturally I often go fuck myself in these dreams. I am the hottest person i know, why wouldn’t I?
Tonight one of me was a spider girl, which is really awesome in of itself. Barely get any dreams where I’m a spider. And I was a redback, the coolest spider. It was really euphoric getting to experience both sides at once, to scare and feel scared. To tease and be teased. Knowing exactly what I wanted because we’re the same person.
In the last one one of me was like a vampire witch of sorts. And I drank almost all of my blood. Getting to feel the biting and bite at the same time, drinking the blood while one of my minds slowly faded out from blood loss. Once that me regained consciousness I realised I hadn’t drank all of my blood yet but some other people had come to “save” me and held me back from myself. I was like “She’s still got blood!!!! let me have it!!!”
