Found a little northern crab spider hiding in my peach foxgloves waiting to pounce on some bees with its venomous bite.

Tiny Little Crab Spiders are Powerful Hunters

Hidden Northern crab spiders (Mecaphesa asperata) are interesting, and rather devious little hunters. Unlike a lot of spiders, they don’t build webs, but instead they are ambush hunters. They hide on plants that are flowering and wait for pollenators to come along for a meal. Then they leap out and bite the prey. These little spiders are quite small, but they are strong and fast and can often…

Pink crab spider, Thomisus onustus, Thomisidae

Despite the common name, this species exhibits a wide range of coloration including pink, white, yellow, green, brown, or a combination of any of those. Like other flower crab spiders, they are able to change their color over a matter of days to more closely match their environment. Found in Eurasia and northern Africa.

Part 1: Early Summer Wildflower Palooza, Cranberry Glade. It's orchid week at Cranberry Glades! Ok - the event may not be quite as exciting as Shark Week on Discovery, but plant nerds such as me experience something approaching tingly nipples at the prospect of getting up close and personal with grass pinks and snakemouths. A sampling of the many orchids now in bloom . . .

From top: greater purple fringed orchid (Platanthera grandiflora), a tall, leafy-stemmed beauty with clustered, intricately-fringed lavender flowers; downy rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera pubescens), a common terrestrial orchid of eastern woods with a striking, reticulated pattern in its leaves (this one is getting ready to bloom); the flamboyantly-beautiful tuberous grass pink (Calopogon tuberosus var. tuberosus), whose nectarless flowers deceptively imitate the magenta color of those of other bog plants, such as meadow phlox (following post), to draw pollinators; a ragged fringed orchid (Platanthera lacera), also known as green fringed orchid, whose fragile, frilly green-white flowers are hard to spot in the bog underbrush; the dainty rose pogonia (Pogonia ophioglossoides), also known as snakemouth orchid, due the tooth-like protuberances on its lower lip (note the sneaky goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) hiding in the flower in the second photo, waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting bee, the orchid's primary pollinator); and northern tubercled orchid (Platanthera flava), another orchid with green-white flowers that can be difficult to spot in the bog underbrush.

Miracle Boxes - The True Generation

These are the second iteration of the Miracle Boxes, and the generation that lasted the longest, stretching out for several thousand years. The Miraculouses within these boxes are very similar to the generation before, save for many kwamis of the Mage Box being divided out among the other boxes of the world, and the Mage Box being hidden away as the Secret Box.

During this time kwamis were free to chose their own holders, and spent more time out in the world than in their Miracle Boxes. Guardians were protectors of kwamis in their dormant state, but were not wardens of them. Kwamis would often travel far from their boxes and across the world, acting as protectors where they felt they were needed.

Hey there. So, as a personal side project, I might be making a fanmade region based on China, and so far I'm trying to flesh out the invertebrate side of things. Specifically, I'm going for ones that are native to or common there. So far, I have:

Silk moth (Bombyx mori and Antheraea pernyi) [Bug/Normal] When I was making these, I had no idea you did a Bug/Normal silk moth. Oops...

Chinese luna moth (Actias dubernardi) [Bug/Fairy]

Blue carpenter bee (Xylocopa caerulea) [Bug/Steel]

Chinese hourglass spider (Cyclocosmia ricketti) [Bug/Psychic]

Shanghai hairy crab (Eriocheir sinensis) [Water/Dark] Making this one pirate/thief themed due to being an invasive species. Also crab claws + pirate hook?

Hallucigenia [Rock/Psychic] A bit on the nose, but I'm fairly surprised the fossils were actually found on

Any ideas on what other arthropods (or invertebrates in general) I could add? Thanks.

Those are all fantastic ideas! My silk moth is actually bug/fairy, and either way you can't pass that up for a China-inspired region.

What comes to mind first for me would be a Chinese Mantis, possibly inspired by the mantis-style martial arts. You could even give it two forms based on northern vs southern style.

There's also the Chinese Golden Earth Tiger tarantula Cyriopagopus schmidti, a large burrowing species with gold and black coloration, tiger-like stripes on the abdomen, and a prominent white "beard". I read that it might have inspired the legend of the Tsuchigumo, which I used to make a Bug/Dragon pseudolegendary, but it's one of those concepts I'd love to see someone else's take on.

A caterpillar infected by Ophiocordyceps, though it might be cribbing too much from Paras and Parasect.

A polychaete worm (such as Phyllodoce citrina) stylized into a Chinese dragon.

A hammerhead worm (Bipalium spp)

May 13, 2022 - Black-tailed Whistler or Mangrove Golden Whistler (Pachycephala melanura)

Found in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, these whistlers live in mangroves and nearby forests and scrub. Foraging in vegetation and only rarely on the ground, they eat invertebrates, including insects, spiders, and small crabs. They build thin cup-shaped nests from grass, rootlets, twigs, and spiderwebs where females lay two or three eggs. Both parents feed the chicks.

Ancardia's Unusual Animals--The Great Iceworm

Classification: Beast (mollusc)

Habitat: Arctic and Anctarctic seas, concentrated under consistent areas of sea ice.

The Great Iceworm is a gargantuan species of seaworm which until recent Ages was scarcely researched due to its difficult and remote habitat. The second largest of all of Ancardia’s invertebrates, the great iceworm spends its entire lifecycle in the icy waters of the two polar zones of Ancardia’s seas, depending upon the rich biomass of the oceans below and close to permanent sea ice. It is known to be particularly common in the very southernmost ranges of Sostuniland, where many tens of thousands of square miles of sea ice remain throughout the summer and the density of large calved icebergs remains high throughout the year, but they do also occur in significant populations under the northern ice cap to the far north of Tvearban’s coasts. Like many of the ocean’s largest creatures, it is docile to most other creatures, only feeding on the smallest of lifeforms in its environment. The majority of a great iceworm’s diet is krill mixed with larval crabs and fishes, supplemented by various somewhat larger invertebrates such as basket stars, polychaete worms, and sea spiders. Several species of large amphipods have evolved seemingly to live only on the dead tissue and parasites that afflict the great iceworm, and so you will seldom find one of these huge creatures swimming without an entourage of several dozen to several hundred palm-size red and gold primitive crustaceans.

While the worm itself is not particularly aggressive, it is possible to startle it which brings on the danger of such a huge animal responding by a defensive thrashing. Its mouthparts are relatively small, but still large enough for bites to be injurious to humanoids, and if directly attacked it will not hesitate to retaliate. Most of the danger from great iceworms comes from their boreholes in the sea ice layer in order to periodically breathe air, which are as wide as the worm’s body itself (usually 2 to 3 meters in diameter) and have been known to very lightly freeze over or have loose snow blow into them, creating a brittle thin area that is not immediately obvious as an environmental hazard. Dropping several meters into below-freezing water in such situations is almost always fatal even with assistance in escaping the frigid water, and so Sostunians living and working around sea ice often are careful to bring walking poles to test the areas along their route for hollow sounding ice and unusually-placed deep, loose snow.

Great iceworms are extremely large, and vary in size depending on their age and the density of food supply they have encountered so far. Most adults measure a minimum of 14 meters in length as either younger individuals or those in areas with less abundant plankton life, but can also reach astounding lengths of 25 or even 30 meters. The average length is closer to 20 meters, though as newly-hatched larvae they begin life as only about 5 centimeters in length. Great iceworms breed whenever they encounter abundant krill for longer than a few weeks at a time, and can breed multiple times in a year (though this is very rare), and will either seek out a mate or undergo parthenogenesis if a mate is nowhere to be found. Eggs are laid in masses on the underside of sea ice, in bundles of 20,000 to 40,000 at a time, though most will be picked off by various sea life before hatching. A larval great iceworm grows exponentially in its first year, usually reaching several meters very quickly. Before reaching adult size, juvenile great iceworms are subject to predation from a number of sharks, other large worms, seabirds and seals. Great iceworms are not known to die from old age, their population mainly being controlled by parasite numbers, predation on larva and eggs, and scarcity of food.

Tuberculated Crab Spider (Tmarus angulatus)

These odd-looking fellas are primarily found in southern Canada and the Northern United States, becoming rarer as you move towards the southwest. They are an uncommon sight, likely due to their small size—while females can reach up to 7 millimetres in length (excluding their long legs), males only reach around 5.

The tuberculated crab spider is an active predator, and does not spin webs like the majority of spiders. Instead, it waits on a twig or branch with its front two pairs of legs outstretched, allowing it to surge forward and grab its prey; with those long legs, it has quite a reach!

The crab spider family owes its name to its odd movement, and the tuberculated crab spider is no exception. It is laterigrade; it holds its front pairs of legs to the side, perpendicular to its body, allowing it to scuttle sideways like a crab.

A few cool things I saw on my adventure in Volusia County on Thursday.

🕷

Very excited about the spring fishfly and that spider, which were both new species to me! The spider is either a Mecaphesa asperata (Northern crab spider) or a species that isn’t in any of my spider guides. Check out the pic with my hand to see a different part of the plant that spider was on—the spider seems perfectly adapted to just look like a dead section of the false rosemary!

🕷

Also pictured: earthstar fungus, a cactus Hidden Mickey, ghost pipes past their prime, a southern 2-striped walkingstick (Anisomorpha buprestoides), fluffy Garberia, a carpet of deer lichen that looks soft enough to take a nap in, and sunlight streaming through a leaf with impeccable TEXTURE 😍

The Northern Crab Spider is Amazing and Really Cool

The Northern Crab Spider is Amazing and Really Cool tells the author’s story of finding a tiny white crab spider on a flower. It then describes the difficulties encountered in trying to identify the species this spider and the reasons for the difficulty.

On the Flower’s Edge Anyone who knows me or has read very many of these stopretty quickly comes to realize that I love spiders. Yes, I’m that girl who catches them inside my house and office and puts them back outside rather than stomping them. I’m not quite as crazy as some friends of mine in Australia who let them live inside their home, but I’m close. Back in the spring we had thistles…
