When you open the car door and see this cute crawler, your heart will jump with happiness!
Marpissa muscosa is one of the largest jumping spiders in Central Europe and can reach a length of up to 11 mm (females). The females have black-rimmed eyes with a wide orange band underneath.
The species builds a kind of nest under the bark of dead trees (or in between your car door). Up to 100 of these nests can occur side by side. They demonstrate a social hierarchy: weaker spiders will acknowledge their inferiority by strutting their front legs and slowly retreating from the scene.

Until around mid-August they mainly feed on protein in form of insects or meat. This is how they supply the larvae. As soon as the adults no longer have to take care of the brood, they need sugar to survive. That's why they get annoying. But that's no reason to kill or torment them. They do valuable services: pollinate plants and keep the environment clean. In contrast to the wasp, humans have a large brain.

The microcodile is the smallest crocodile species. It likes to pretend to be a toy and bites parents in their feet.🐊 The drawing is from 2007.

The howling honey worm is the neotenic larvae of the sugar dragon. It only develops into adulthood in very rare cases. It smells like cinnamon and cucumber. I don't know more yet, but it's howling all the time. Maybe some nice words would make it feel better. The drawing is from 2007.

The snifftong is a furry animal from planet Aromaoma. It feeds on smells, which it licks up with its nose tongue. Everything on Aromaoma feeds on smells. Also this flower. Right now. The drawing is from 2007.

💕🕸🕷💕 I have two Oscars now! 😄 Ow... no... he just molted.😆

💕🕸🕷💕 Oscar is my newest buddy. A tarantula of the genus Grammostola... not totally sure if it's a Grammostola rosea or porteri... or even a hybrid.🔍 I recently adopted him. He presents you his great fur using the super trendy water drop photography.😀💧🌈

The sloth enjoyed a sunny Sunday along with Mother Nature! 🌞🌼🐝 ⠀

🔎🐧💡 At Centro de Interpretación, Paracas, Peru:
In the coastal desert around Paracas, numerous fossils were found. Including various penguin species, such as the Inkayacu pictured here. It lived around 36 million years ago. The 2008 discovered skeleton is the first one with fossilized feathers attached to it. The feathers are so well preserved that it's even possible to draw conclusions about the coloring. They had similar feathers as modern penguins, but more gray or brownish.


The other prehistoric bird in the picture is a pseudotooth bird (pelagornithid). These birds reached a wing span of up to 6 meters and were thus about twice as large as the Andean condor. They were probably related to pelicans or storks and lived all around the world. The fossils found around Paracas are attributed to the same era as the Inkayacu.

Some may ask why, I ask why not! This is a fish with a palm in its mouth (drawn 2007).🌴🐟 Any questions?😝😝😝
