Celebrating the return of , here is a Purple Shore Crab (Hemigrapsus nudas) in the nearshore zone of Sitka, Alaska. Not only are the seaweed and barnacles key habitat components, they are also the primary foods of the purple shore crab. Although their common name is "purple", they can also be found as olive green or reddish brown. Have a nice day, little crab!

This is the Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi). The biggest living crab and the largest arthropod in the world, measuring up to 13 ft (4 m) from the tip of one outstretched leg to another! Its diet includes dead fish, invertebrates, and algae, but it occasionally snatches live prey with its strong claws. This scavenger can be found on the seafloor off Japan’s Pacific coast, inhabiting depths of more than 984 ft (300 m).

Le regard de braise d'une Palomena prasina
(Un grand classique, chez les punaises)

(Bin vi : au vu de la météo vosgienne plus que mauvaise, je trie des photos de l'automne dernier que j'avais oubliées de trier et nommer, à défaut d'en faire de nouvelles... 😅 )

It's Monday so here's a mite. Possibly Poecilochirus. Members of genus are typically found hitching rides on beetle species that are bound for carrion. Once there, mites hop off and eat rotting meat, fly eggs, or beetle eggs. Slime mold fruiting bodies for scale.

Fluted bird's nest fungus (Cyathus striatus) with three peridioles and a springtail (Lepidocyrtus cyaneus?). If anyone wants to learn more about the Nidulariaceae I highly recommend Harold Brodie's book, The Bird's Nest Fungi.

OK, how many mistakes can you find? Screenshot is from Spartan Mosquito's Amazon page and shows the organisms repelled by its GO! spray (picaridin).

`Both Yang and Marek think red-headed centipedes are far from the only soil-dwellers to utilize thermal receptors to indirectly detect light through heat. Now that researchers have seen the light, they know what to look for in visually impaired arthropods such as army ants and blind beetles.`

Aujourd'hui : l'un des trilobites les plus courants au monde. Mais il est joli quand même.
