I'm an incorrigibly geeky transboy with a love for neuropsychopharmacology, cacti (or plants and botany in general), weird music, spiders (and other cute animals), experimental film, might and magic, daggerfall, pokemon, and math (especially when symmetries are involved).

Colourful Spiderweb Sculptures
Reblog from deepbreathsanddeath:
Anthony Michael Simon doesn’t produce his own art, instead he lets spiders do the work for him.
About the work:
Chicago native Anthony Michael Simon first discovered the artistry of the silk-producing arachnids while trekking through a forest in Korea, where he is currently based, looking for a location for his next sculptural art installation. He came across a huge spiderweb and it somehow clicked in his mind that he could catch spiders and have them naturally spin their webs in his studio.
Wide Jawed Viciria with her spiderlings running amok in the nest. Despite what may seem like imminent danger, the mother did not run away and abandon the babies. Even if she did move, she would return to protect her young ones almost immediately.
spider moms are so loyal.
(happy spider mother’s day?)

Jumping Spider - Habronattus Coecatus
awwww it’s blushing
Taken at: Altura Wildlife Park, Waitomo, New Zealand
Take a gander at this teeny jumper. I kept finding jumping spiders while working in the 5 hectare garden (I was nearly pissing myself with delight, let me assure you). No idea of what species or what genus this little guy is, partially because I haven’t bothered to do any research. Anywho, adorable jumping spider. <3
