Happy Valentine's Day from AAS! 🕷️🦂💕
A valentine with a wolf spider that says "I'm picking up good vibrations from you, valentine." A valentine with a whip spider on it that says "Palps and whips excite me" A valentine with a daddy long legs that says "Is that your sensory second leg or are you just happy to see me?" A valentine with two nursery web spiders. The male has a nuptial gift for the female. It says "I got you this nice gift please don't eat me :-)"

🧪Xiphosura AKA Horseshoe crabs have been moved across the Chelicerate phylogeny several times

▶️Xiphosura was once its own class separate from arachnids due to their distinct body shape
▶️Recent molecular studies place them WITHIN Arachnida, labeling them arachnids

Should we allow Xiphosura memes? 😎
A meme of Patrick Star from Spongebob. He is labeled as a taxonomist saying "Let's take Xiphosura, and put it somewhere else."
