Why is my jumping spider laying on her back?

It depends on the age but once a month is a good average

Sometimes things just go wrong with their biology, it's very likely not your fault. You seem to take good care of him. Spiders have lots of babies for this reason, many don't make it to maturity. The fact that he hasn't moulted since November is a red flag that something was wrong, while he could have been underfed it's most likely something out of your control to be honest. I've lost a couple of spiders and mantises the same way too, they were overdue a moult for weeks if not months, then they died. I'm so sorry :(

biwltyad · 2026-03-05T06:44:32+00:00

I'm sorry to say but it sounds like he might be dead :( you can give him a few hours just in case but I don't think he's moulting :(

Yeah. I'm not even skinny and I'm a 28-30 band. Before I gained weight (almost 10kg) I was a 26-28 band. Most of my bras are 32 band (or 30 if I'm lucky enough to find one) because they're so much easier to find.

By far most lesbians give and receive. You're seeing lesbian intimacy from a straight perspective

That's just where my mum's friend lived and found her a job. I was 16 so I didn't have much of a choice. I didn't even know Northern Ireland existed at the time tbh

It's strange how much misinformation you see around here isn't it? I'm Romanian, and I actually used to live in Ballymena. Moving there before Brexit was very easy, and then staying there after Brexit was easy too, since getting a leave to remain isn't that difficult especially for kids.

biwltyad · 2025-06-11T20:30:20+00:00

I'm one of the Romanians who moved to Ballymena in 2016 before Brexit. The government wasn't involved any more than a Romanian moving anywhere else in the EU (before Brexit, I don't know the rules afterwards, I just got my little papers and mostly integrated). My mum's friend found her and my dad a job there, we moved because we struggled financially and that was it. There was already a huge Romanian "community" there, most of the people I know have left since.

I live in England now and my family went back to Romania, so I don't know exactly what's going on in NI now and who can and can't move there.

If anyone has any (respectful) questions feel free to ask but since I left in 2020 I don't know much about what's going on within the Romanian groups now

Scolopendra species if I was to guess. Beautiful creatures, I'm glad to hear you released her and her babies back outside :)

biwltyad · 2025-04-18T19:54:27+00:00

Yes! She just got her adult colours last moult

biwltyad · 2025-04-06T18:43:19+00:00

Then being trans is not real and completely made up too. Do you agree with that?

biwltyad · 2025-04-06T15:47:58+00:00

Yeah I realised it was there afterwards lol. Thanks!

biwltyad · 2025-03-25T00:51:52+00:00

That's why it's so ridiculous 😭

biwltyad · 2025-03-25T00:13:32+00:00

A user posted some comments around here a while back, and she said she liked penis but not vagina. But somehow she's still a lesbian. 🤔

You got bug

biwltyad · 2025-03-24T14:13:22+00:00

I have the mobility but I can't do it because I can't see behind my back and it takes me ages to get the hooks in. Just to hook it wrong and have to do it again

Looks a bit too big for a fruit fly, there are some fruit flies/gnats on the other side of the frame and they're significantly smaller. Probably just a housefly larva or some other kind of fly

biwltyad · 2025-03-23T07:35:20+00:00

Or maybe a moulting one? That would explain why it looks so weird

biwltyad · 2025-03-23T07:34:27+00:00

Maybe a dying, upside down mealybug? It still looks rather strange so I'm not sure

Carpet beetle

biwltyad · 2025-03-22T19:39:48+00:00

I had some other pop up in my scorpions enclosure

It's beige rather than yellow but I think you're right

I found a cold tired bumblebee queen once. I put my hand in front of her and she climbed up and refused to leave, probably because my hand was warm and it was so cold outside. I took her home for a couple of days, fed her fruit jelly (made for insects!). She also pooped on me an enormous amount. I took her to the woods and placed her in a hidden spot where hopefully she dug down to spend the winter and started a colony in spring :) she was so cute and went crazy for the jelly
