Gosh guys. It’s been a great week for spider-related things. The same week I caught an opilione (pretty sure it was an opilione) and found out about peacock spiders, I learned that there’s a BRIGHT BLUE TARANTULA! BRIGHT BLUE!
Here, I’ll show you. Obviously, there are pictures after the break.
When I was trying to figure out what arachnid was sauntering across my colleague’s back the other day, I came across this previously unknown to me species of spider. Peacock spiders!
Aside: Yes, there will be pictures of spiders, an animated gif involving a spider (this one is quite tame and is before the jump), even a video of a spider. But, you really should take a look at them. They’re so pretty!
This is totally you right now.
So…no, a peacock did not have offspring with a spider. That would not be remotely possible as peacocks and spiders are not even the same phylum, never mind the same species. Peacock spiders (Maratus volans) are a species of jumping spiders. Both male and female peacock spiders are brownish, but the males have…plumage. Kind of like peacocks. Here, I will show you.
Random moosages as I see fit.
