Hey everyone! I'm still learning how to use Mastodon, so thanks for your patience! This is Moon Gazers, my newest piece inspired by the recent discovery that jumping spiders can see the craters on the moon. https://mastodon.art/media/8-bRqPpi4jM5rm0XJOI
@rhea Amazing! 💖
@rhea Super cute. Reminded me of this other spider 😃

@erenito I LOVE LUCAS THE SPIDER. Between that and peacock spiders, I feel like the internet has been good for spider PR.
@rhea this is the cutest spider I've ever seen
@rhea your new piece is soooo cuuuute
@rhea cute! i love it!
@rhea OMG I love this beautiful little terror O.O 🕷 😍
@jakallx aww this guys a jumping spider, way too itty bitty to hurt a thing like us. Jumping spiders will also apparently chase laser pointers-just like cats!
@rhea aaahh haha that's so cute! They sound like a good pet but i already have too many uninvited spiders (the big, hairy kind) in my life lol
@jakallx lol I understand. There's a Parsons Spider that lives in my studio. I've named her Gertrude.
@rhea i googled Parsons spider and omg Gertrude isn't going to accidentally murder you, right??
I just get a load of Huntsman spiders that like to make my bedroom their place of residence for a couple of days without asking me first
@jakallx I don't think I'm allergic so I'm not sure Gertrude could murder me if she tried lol. I on the other hand try hard not to accidentally murder her. I did accidentally squish one of her sisters...
@rhea oh no! now you owe gertrude a blood debt. but I'm glad she can't hurt you!
@rhea Aw! This is precious. Really captures the adorable quality of spiders most people overlook haha
@Pheoniic thanks! I feel like between Lucas the spider and the peacock spider videos, the internet has really boosted spider pr
@rhea I don't know what to do with all these people making spiders cute
@rhea I read that same article!!! YEAH!
@rhea your art is literally incredible
@fonzonzonz I really enjoy what I do! And all the things I learn along the way.
@rhea that is delightful! I love jumping spiders! They are the cutest!
@Vanessa I know right??? They're so great!
@rhea this is the most precious thing I have ever seen omg
