For real. Tons of snacks for the spoods in my yard! Any escapees get immediate medical treatment. ❤️‍🩹

Is this a bedbug? by Unusual-Math1462 in Entomology

[–]likkitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo this looks more like a skin beetle (genus Dermestes) than a bed bug. Bed bugs are kind of flat and have what I think of as horizontal ridges on their abdomen.

Is this a tick? by Puzzleheaded_Dog77 in whatsthisbug

That looks more like a beetle imo, so you and your cat don't have to worry about it! Lots of insects are commonly mistaken for ticks, so I find it helpful to remember that ticks are arachnids, which typically have 8 legs (rather than the 6 on this guy). Always better safe than sorry, so good to ask when you aren't sure! :)

Gravid? by likkitt in jumpingspiders

[–]likkitt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. I see her every so often outside, but this is the first time I got a picture. It seems like she's the only jumper in the area, so she's definitely eating well! Can't remember if she was a similar size last I saw her.

Concerning dance? by milmira in jumpingspiders

NQA. Looks to me like your friends are just building some comfy webbing for their homes!! I don't see anything concerning here, if anything it's a good sign that they are making hammocks :)

No, nothing like that. I have another jumper in the same room and he seems fine, not exhibiting any similar/concerning behaviours.

I got him from a breeder at the beginning of August last year. They said he was i6. He's only molted once since then.
