While moulting Amlblypygids usually turn white and inbetween that and their hardened colouration this Damon sp. turns a magnificant blue colour.

Holconia murrayensis or Murray's Banded Hunstman is a large huntsman spider from Australia. Despite their reputation they are rather placid by Sparassid standards. #arachnids #bugsky #spider #macro #nature #wildlife

I just received this fantastic Pseudosculda laevis from Lebanon. This lovely little mantis shrimp hails back to Upper Jurassic.

I added this to my collection last Sunday and I have been eagerly awaiting #FossilFriday to show it off. The fantastical Comura bultyncki, one of the most iconic of the #Devonian trilobites from #Morroco. #fossil #prehistoric #trilobite

Orthomeria pandora "Laguna" hatchling. Very unusually behaved phasmids, they react just at the mere sight of you and run around very fast, quite erractic for stick insects. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #insect
