The Tarantula Nebula
A nursery of stars, caught in NASA's Webb.
In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust. The most active region appears to sparkle with massive young stars, appearing pale blue.

The Golden Knee Tarantula
Tumblr media
A Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola pulchripes) moving furniture around in its tank in Reptopia. Photo credit: Eleanor Chua.
This was shot through a glass screen and the glass of the tarantula tank which were 4 inches apart, and that meant reflection. A combination of ‘burning’ and darkening of the mid-tones was used in post to fix the reflection.

Do you have kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews? Do you like to color (who am I kidding this is Tumblr, of course y’all do)? Then I’ve got 27 digital images to print at home of critters, creatures, and creepy crawlers from the American Southwest and beyond that you can fill in till your hearts content.
Mammals, reptiles, bugs, and a whole lot more from the Pleistocene Ice Age to today. All hand drawn by me, Thomas Wayne Riley. There are butterflies, mammoths, moose, bison, prairie dogs, mountain lions, wolves, and a bunch of other wild and woolly critchers. And they’re all based off of pictures I took in the wild or at museums.
All pictures are 8.5x11 or standard paper size and all are black and white.
These are not AI drawn or prompted. These are all drawn on the iPad by Thomas Wayne Riley from pictures that Thomas Wayne Riley took.
Do not support AI "art".

Paraguana peninsula Biotope
Target Species: Green Bottle Blue Tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens)
Location: Paraguana peninsula, Northern Venezuela, South America
Habitat Type: Desert
I know this blog's been quiet, since I started it, but I'm finally back with my first biotope summary and its even one I've recently built! It was finally time for me to upgrade my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens Vlad into her adult enclosure.
This is not a care guide, if you are looking for information on care for this species there are sources at the bottom of this post written by tarantula keepers much more experienced than me. I used many of them when I was originally deciding if this was a species I would like to keep.
The target species of this enclosure is a docile species of new world tarantula. They boast dark blue and rusty orange coloration, and once settled into an enclosure, are typically outgoing enough for you to see and enjoy them. They are a burrowing species that will build a thick web around the entrance, so providing plenty of substrate and structure to anchor to is key. They also don't require conditions that are terribly difficult to maintain. Unfortunately they are classified as critically endangered in the wild, potentially making the captive bred population of this species an important resource.

Original Photos: young specimen with juvenile coloration, 21 Mar. 2023 (Left). Vlad almost fully transitioned to the adult coloration, 14 Feb. 2024 (Right).
The setup I built is very simple. The only animals are the target species and cleanup crew (isopods, not habitat accurate). All foliage is artificial, as I didn't want to potentially stress her with a grow light to maintain plants that she will likely web over anyway (the LED above her cage will only be turned on for viewing). So this outline will have much less specific information on the flora and fauna that occur in this habitat outside of the target species than future outlines will.
I had some trouble finding photos I was sure were habitat from Paraguana that weren't wide shots, let alone photos of C. cyaneopubescens in its natural environment, but based on photos like this one:
Tumblr media
Cerro Santa Ana, Paraguaná Peninsula, Venezuela - by Jujovar2010.
And a couple of short descriptions, this habitat seems to be characterized by dense shrubs and barrel cacti. The deserts of this region are also characterized by sand dunes, but C. cyaneopubescens reportedly (and in my experience) likes to anchor their webs around plants. So It is unlikely one would willingly spend much of its time out on open sand dunes.

With that information, my observations on Vlad's habits, and the materials available, this is the setup I've put together.

I kept things simple, as this is one of my smaller terrariums inhabited by an animal, and much of it will eventually be covered by webbing as well. I included branches of various sizes to simulate the underbrush and a hollow piece of cholla wood mounted in a vertical position. The cholla wood is not a biotypically accurate variety of cactus, but it provides a convenient naturalistic hide for the tarantula. I also chose faux grass that would mimic the look of dormant desert grass. I may make some adjustments when I get the chance, specifically replacing the current water bowl with one that fits into the scape better.
Bonus cryptid spotting:
