Feeling crabby? Feast your eyes on today’s Exhibit of the Day, the Museum’s Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi). This species is the biggest living crab and the largest arthropod in the world, measuring up to 13 ft (4 m) from the tip of one outstretched leg to another! Its diet includes dead fish, invertebrates, and algae, but it occasionally snatches live prey with its strong claws. This scavenger can be found on the seafloor off Japan’s Pacific coast, inhabiting depths of more than 984 ft (300 m). You can spot a model of one in the Museum’s Hall of Ocean Life!

Mermay Day 23: Giant Spider Crab

Our second week in the deep below has lead me to observe a new phenomenon. I've seen Sea Spiders before, but they're small. The biggest of them barely come up to my chest. Lauralie, however... She towered over our research vessel. Many creatures, Merms included, seem to become... supersized. Enormous. This is the aforementioned phenomenon. I will call it Deep Sea Gigantism. Is it magic? The isolation? I'm not entirely sure, and I'm not certain it's meant for humanoids to know. But, the research shall continue.

[Prompt List]

[Previous] - Day 22: Anglerfish

[Next] - Day 24: Nautilus

This blog is delightful!! I see so many new buggy friends every day now and it's lovely! I've always been a fan of an assortment of bugs (I was the kid who would spend all day looking for them instead of playing with the other kids, lol) but I've always had a particularly hard time warming up to the especially spindly and fast moving guys, particularly spiders (somehow, tarantulas do not apply to this statement, my beloveds) but seeing other people be enthusiastic or have neat bug stories has been helping. Are there any particularly "gnarly" (subjectively, of course) speedy arachnids that you wouldn't mind sharing?

(NOTE THAT NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON THIS POST WILL GET YOU BLOCKED.)

Oh, I can relate! I used to be an arachnophobe, and the very large, fast, and leggy ones scared the heck out of me. This is going to be incredibly subjective of course so I'm sorry if my definition of gnarly dudes doesn't fit yours! I'll also stick to spiders one might find in the US, since that's where I'm based.

And just a note that none of these guys scare me anymore! I've grown to love and appreciate all of them, so this post is in no way trying to shed them in a negative light. And none of these dudes are harmful :)

Giant crab spider (actually a huntsman, Olios giganteus):

Look at that face and the cute little peets. Precious. Photo by deserts

Dark fishing spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus:

These pals can get up to 4 inches across and are incredibly fast! Photo by jmcardle

Carolina wolf spider, Hogna carolinensis:

The largest wolf spider in the US! Like the other two, they actively hunt rather than trapping prey in webs, so they're very fast. But look at that adorable little face! Photo by arcebianca0505

Giant house spider, Eratigena duellica:

Smaller yet somehow more leggy than the others. They're harmless funnel weavers, but holy smokes are they fast! One of the fastest species in the U.S., as it happens. Photo by bryn_

And finally the large and leggy pantropical huntsman, Heteropoda venatoria:

That's so much leg. Wow. Impressive hunters! They've been known to take down small lizards and snakes. If I could kiss one I would. Photo by mutolisp

does a plot summary of the silt verses exist anywhere? I listened to the last 2 seasons but since have gotten somewhat concussed and forgotten. most of the plot

We put out an audio recap last week in the feed, but a quick written summary of Seasons 1&2 would be (under the cut for spoilers)

Season 1:

Carpenter and Faulkner, two acolytes of the illegal river-god known as the Trawler-man in a nation known as the Peninsula, are heading upriver in search of signs of their fragmented and scattered faith.

Along the way, they discover friendship, kidnap a disillusioned office worker from the neighbouring nation of the Linger Straits (Paige), and are pursued by Hayward, a hangdog police officer.

Carpenter decides she needs to quit the faith. Faulkner confesses his ambitions of becoming a great leader of their shared religion and drops some of the frenzied zealotry.

In the end, they uncover the Wither Mark, a powerful prayer to their river-god, which has been used to obliterate an entire town.

Cornered, they call upon the river's wrath and are swept apart in the flood.

Season 2:

Returning to the Parish of Tide and Flesh and relaunching himself as 'prophet of the river', Faulkner quickly becomes a thorn in his superior Katabasian Mason's side and is sent out on a dangerous mission.

Carpenter, waking far to the south, is introduced to the Cairn Maiden, a god of death who appears to have taken a special interest in her. She, too, is given a dangerous mission (PARALLELS) - to carry a moaning, screaming corpse back to the White Gull river.

Hayward, having fled to the Linger Straits, meets up with Paige and joins her crusade to create a new god of martyrs that sacrificial victims can use to protect themselves.

This goes, perhaps, a little too well, and after one terrorist attack against a prison, Paige and Hayward find themselves fleeing back to the Peninsula, leaving behind them one deadbeat, dead dad.

In the capital of Glottage, a politician by the name of Shrue recruits a pair of god-hunters, Mercer and Gage, to track down the Parish's people.

(Along the way across both seasons, it becomes increasingly clear that war is imminent between the Peninsula and Linger Straits. At the end of the season, it breaks out.)

Carpenter and Faulkner end up reuniting to try and defend the Parish's people against the government's forces - an attack which is unexpectedly called off.

As Carpenter buries her corpse and comes to terms with the possibility of a peaceful life and an end to her struggles, Faulkner is heralded as a hero of the faith.

It turns out that Katabasian Mason has negotiated with Shrue to legalise the Parish, using the coming war as leverage.

Furious at having his dreams of leading the Parish as a prophet and a war hero stolen from him, Faulkner murders Mason, and in desperation blames Carpenter for the deed.

Carpenter flees. Faulkner remains a hero. Paige and Hayward wash up on the Peninsula's shores. War is here.

favourite species of deep sea gooby wooby?

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU

One of my favorite things about the deep is how much we don’t know. We only really get scraps of what’s down there.

Like giant squids! The first live-recording of one was when it was found stuck on a boat :/ And the rest of the specimens we have were found dead. But it makes it even cooler! Imagine seeing a thriVING giant squid! Those mfs are huge! Their eyes are as big as dinner plates! Their tentacles can reach 33 feet! Take a look at these pictures from the 2011 Discovery expedition:

😍🤩

And here are some deep sea claSSICS

Gulper Eel 🥰

Japanese Spider Crab !!

Vent Crabs! (These guys get their names from living so deep that they stay by hydrothermal vents)

#I LOVE THE OCEAN #I LOVE THE DEEP SEA #THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK #more asks like these 🤩🤩🤩#liz :)#answered asks #asks #squidposting #deep sea creatures #gulper eel #vent crab #giant squid #japanese spider crab
