Oughh,,, baby,

[PHOTOS TAKEN: MARCH 18TH, 2025 | Image IDs: Five photos of a young green and tan/brown grasshopper. In the first three it's standing on a grey stick, while in the later two it's on a pile of brown leaves /End IDs.]

Definitely a Chortophaga nymph, possibly viridifasciata.

Male tan jumping spider (Platycryptus undatus)

Look at this absolutely gorgeous specimen I saw chilling in the house today! No idea what he was doing inside, I made sure to put him back out. Without knowing much about P. undatus, I have read that they exhibit a level of sexual dimorphism denoted by the band across their face! Females typically keep a white band, while the bands on males turn a pretty vibrant orange. You can see the gorgeous band on this male here, along with his boxing-glove pedipalps.

Got lazy towards the end but here's a doodle of the fella >:) Pretty sure this is a spotted cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus)! Shrimp are surprisingly hard to draw who would have known

Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta), juvenile, taken March 18, 2025, in Georgia, US

Behold, a spider belly! In even the smallest orchard orbweaver, the orange smiley on their abdomen is visible. This is diagnostic for the species, along with 3 stripes that run down their cephalothorax, one down the center and 2 on the margins, but that isn't visible here. Those markings allow you to differentiate the species from Joro Spiders, which look extremely similar as juveniles. A smiliar species, the Mabel Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge argyrobapta), is often confused with this one but can be distinguished (if not by range) by its blue hues and larger, more yellow smiley. This is only the case for some individuals, though, as females of the species are nearly identical and males can only be distinguished by the shape of their palps. Both are beautiful regardless!
