I am very cute. (My sister does not think so) To see a picture of a Jumping Spider, watch Lucus the Spider.

I was out for a walk along the Eramosa River in Guelph with a pal on New Years Day, when she lifted a log and showed me some strange white patches along it. We both recognized them from our walk a couple of days before. I guessed by the appearance of them, being small, white and silken-like, with many around, that they were likely egg cases of some small invertebrate, but I didn't know who may have made them. I also wasn't certain about egg case, but it seemed a likely guess. White, circular with a thin shallow dome constructed of webbing got me wondering who may have created this? I decided that this find, like a lot of the small wonders of the world would be worth researching a bit and recording a show about. Happy 2025!

Welcome to Spoodcast, the jumping spider podcast with Amy (@amykeepsarachnids) and Laena (@mfspood)! The episode kicks off with Laena's unexpected discovery of baby spiders hatched on her desk, then transitions into the exciting report on the largest funnel web spider found in Australia. Amy offers a unique perspective on the behavior of young tarantulas and the unpredictable and challenging aspects of spider keeping, offering inspiration and practical advice to listeners. Special guest Zo of Zovariums drops by to tell us about a mating session gone very wrong. On a lighter note, we discuss what makes a male spider attractive and introduce you to the ADORABLE flathead jumper. 

In this episode, we talk about the importance of giving your spider friends awesome enclosures - and NOT TOO BIG! We discuss the surprising issues that can arise if spiders feel insecure or aren't able to hunt efficiently. We also touch on hydration and providing physically and mentally stimulating environments for our arachnid pals.

In this episode, the Spoodcast hosts Lauren and Laena discuss their personal journeys and insights about owning jumping spiders as pets.  Lauren and Laena share critical advice on purchasing spiders online, emphasizing transparency about the spider's age and origins. They also provide vital recommendations on sourcing reliable information and joining supportive online communities. They discuss a range of topics from handling techniques, the crucial 'butt thread', dealing with premolt periods, feeding dangers, and personal triumphs over arachnophobia. Listeners are even treated to a peek into custom-built spider enclosures available at Spider Stuff and an upcoming spider party!  

Having just rehoused my juvenile Eresus walckenaeri (Velvet Spider), I figured that it was time to talk a bit about how I care for it.Also in this episode, is the current Jumping Spider and Velvet Spider social media fad and rampant anthropomorphization leading to decline in overall appropriate husbandry in the spider hobby? I'll discuss what I feel are the realistic pros and cons of the attention these "cute" spiders are currently receiving.

Lindsay finds a daring jumping spider.

I love paddling my kayak, to get away even for just an hour or two. Sitting in my kayak one morning on a detention pond close to home, I watched a small, tan spider hopping on my paddle. I quickly took a picture, hoping to identify it later. Before I could enjoy watching this new-to-me spider too much, however, another spider—large, black, and hairy—emerged from under my paddle, ran up to the smaller spider, bit it, and started dragging it off!

Summary: The senses of the tarantula are complex and bind-blowing! Join Kiersten as she walks you through this amazing arachnid's sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: The Tarantula Scientist by Sy Montgomery https://study.com/academy/lesson/tarantulas-anatomy-habitat-bite.html https://www.labroots.com/trending/plants-and-animals/18796/surprise-tarantulas-color-vision “The evolution of coloration and opsin in tarantulas.” By Satires Foley, Vinodkumar Saranathan, and William H.

(Piano music stops) Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  ] This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it.   This episode continues tarantulas and the second thing I like about these awesome creatures is their senses!   The five senses that are typically common amongst most animals are sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. We're going to look at each one of these in relation to tarantulas. Buckle up listeners, this is going to be a crazy ride!   Okay, let's start with vision. As mentioned in the anatomy episode, tarantulas have eight eyes. They are set just above the chelicerae. Two large eyes, that are relatively easy to see with the naked human eye, are centered in the middle of the front portion of the cephalothorax. Four eyes sit below those. These are smaller than the large eyes and sit in a line. Of these four eyes, the two in the middle will be slightly larger than the two on the ends.    Now, if you're keeping count that gives us only six eyes. The final two eyes sit on each side of the head. Once again, they will be smaller than the large front facing eyes, but they are bigger than the four eyes that are lined below the main eyes. This is typical of most tarantulas but not all species will be exactly the same. So based on the fact that they have eight eyes, their eyesight must be amazing! That's an excellent deductive thought listeners, but in this case it is not correct.   Tarantulas' eyes are capable of detecting motion and changes in light, but cannot determine visual cues in any detail. When it comes to tarantulas, more eyes does not mean better vision. But before you shed a tear for these wee animals, their eyes are perfect for how they live their lives. Most tarantulas are nocturnal, so seeing in shades of light and dark is just what they need to navigate their environment successfully.   It is commonly thought that tarantulas cannot see color. It makes sense that if you live in the shadows of night the ability to see color is not important, but there is some recent research that is challenging this thought. There are some tarantulas that are covered in bright blues and greens. For example, the Cobalt Blue tarantula of Myanmar and Thailand is a bright, beautiful sapphire blue. This is a truly gorgeous species of tarantula, to the human eye, but why would the tarantula produce a blue color if they themselves cannot see it?      In a research paper published in 2020, scientists analyzed the opsins in tarantula eyes. Opsins are light-sensitive proteins that are often present in animals that possess color vision. It was previously thought that these opsins would not be present in tarantulas but the scientists found some. This indicates that the tarantula can see in color, or at least some colors. We're not one hundred percent sure why these tarantulas are blue, but the current thought is that the color is used to attract mates. Studies have not been performed with brown, red, or orange colored tarantulas so we'll have to wait to find out if they can see in color. The closer you look at these amazing arachnids, the cooler they become. Am I right?    Let's move on to hearing. The question here is can tarantulas hear? H-E-A-R. (Laugh) Sorry bad pun. The answer is more complicated than just a yes or no, so let's discuss the details. Tarantulas do not have ears in the traditional sense, but they are capable of hearing.    As you have probably noticed tarantulas are pretty hairy. These hairs, or setae, are not just for looks, they are specialized structures that perform various functions for the tarantula. One of those functions is to detect vibrations. The setae on the legs are highly sensitive to air-borne vibrations. Quoting from a scientific paper published in Current Biology in November 2016 titled “Airborne Acoustic Perception by a Jumping Spider" these setae “are air-flow mechanoreceptors sensitive to the particle-velocity component of airborne stimuli”. Plainly said, the setae on the tarantula's legs vibrate when sound waves hit them and this transfers information from the environment to the tarantula. I think that's pretty cool!    (As a side note, this experiment was performed with jumping spiders, which are not a type of tarantula, but the setae of both arachnids are so similar that we can make educated assumptions that this ability also applies to tarantulas.)   What's even more amazing is that these setae can help the tarantula differentiate between predators and prey. According to scientific experiments, typical predators of tarantulas produce low-frequency sounds when they move. When those sounds hit the setae they vibrate at a specific rate. When the tarantula feels those vibrations they know they need to go into defense mode. Prey items produce different frequency sounds and when the setae vibrate at those rates the tarantula knows to go into hunting mode! I think it's outstanding that these little hair-like structures can do so much!   Next, let's investigate the tarantula's sense of touch. This sense is related to the setae that covers their whole body. Essentially the tarantula's entire body is one big sensory receptor. But it can be aided by the silk that they produce. Tarantulas that live in burrows often spin a flat web covering the ground that makes up the tunnels and chambers of their burrow. These webs help transmit vibrations to the tarantula's sensitive legs. It tells them when a larger predator may be present or when a smaller prey item is near by. This is the same for tarantulas that live in trees, our arboreal tarantulas, it's just not done on a burrow.    These setae are so sensitive that any movement in the air can provide information to the tarantula. A slight breeze, the flap of a predatory bird wing, or a rain drop can all impart important information through the sensitive setae covering the tarantula's body.   The last two senses are smell and taste. These are combined in the tarantula, or as far as we know they are (It is a bit difficult to ask them how that cockroach tastes), and once again these senses rely on the setae. The chelicerae and the pedipalps are the two anatomical structures most closely involved in taste and smell. For more information about those two anatomical structures, please listen to the first episode on anatomy. These two structures are covered in, you guessed it, setae, but these setae are different from the ones on their legs. These setae are chemoreceptors. The structure of the chemoreceptors is different from the setae used as mechanoreceptors that sense vibrations. The chemoreceptor setae are curved, double-layered, open to the environment at the end, and innervated at the base. This structure allows odors to infiltrate the setae so the tarantula can determine what they have encountered. Is it a prey item they wish to eat, a dirt clod or leaf they need to ignore, or the scent of a known predator they need to hide from?    It's been wild ride into the world of tarantula senses, and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have because it is the second thing like about tarantulas.    If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.    Join me next week for another thing I like about tarantulas!   (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Our special guest today is Kaden Lebsack "Last Ninja Standing" - American Ninja Warrior SN13 - WINNER! Kaden Lebsack (Super K WakeNinja) was born in Castle Rock, Colorado. Wakeboarding was his first passion starting at the age of 2. At the age of 10, he was the youngest member of the Mile High Wakeboarding Team. In the summer of 2016, is when Kaden discovered Ninja! Since then it's been nonstop training and competing. He has been across the US competing and is currently the back-to-back UNAA World Champ. Which stands for Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association At the heart of “American Ninja Warrior” is the Great American Obstacle Course, and its obstacles, like those of American life, are meant to teach us lessons. Plan your route through the rope jungle carefully. Never be afraid of the mini-trampoline, because it will sense your fear and punish you for it. Momentum is crucial on the spin cycle. Hesitate and you're done. Watch your forerunners carefully. One ninja's mistake is another ninja's education. American Ninjas are plumbers and dentists and stove cleaners and computer programmers and farmers who leap hay bale to hay bale, defying gravity and frightening the livestock. The show proudly boasts contestants from all fifty states. Ninjas are pro athletes and ex-Olympians and underdogs. Every season—we just wrapped the 13th season—follows the same arc. Each contestant must pass through the six obstacles of a city qualifier course—always culminating in a straight run up the infamous fourteen-foot Warped Wall to hit a buzzer on top—and then a Finals course in the same city, with four new obstacles beyond the Warped Wall, in order to qualify for Mount Midoriyama: a four-stage mega-course in Las Vegas that concludes with a seventy-five-foot vertical rope climb. The obstacles are a brutal parade of inanimate objects: Dancing Stones, Spinning Log, Floating Boards, Jumping Spider, Rumbling Dice, Monkey Peg, Cargo Crossing, Salmon Ladder, Double Salmon Ladder. On courses temporarily constructed, like pop-up playgrounds, in a series of curated urban locales—along the Venice beachfront, around Indianapolis's Monument Circle—contestants support and propel their bodies in feats of unthinkable exertion. They swing on ropes, grip onto pegs suspended high above safety pools, brace their bodies between parallel walls, hold onto rolling logs, hold onto spinning wheels, run across tilting tables and wobbling perches. To make it onto the show, they have to submit audition tapes— The show also brings back popular contestants year after year, a kind of American Ninja aristocracy. The hosts of the show are Matt Iseman, a “bro host” comedian, and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila, a former N.F.L. defender and unrepentant pun addict. “American Ninja Warrior” is based on a Japanese obstacle-course show called “Sasuke,” named after the mythic ninja Sarutobi Sasuke. And yet I find that the moments when the show seems to illuminate something crucially American don't live in its stories of by-your-own-bootstraps or anyone-can-do-it success but, rather, in the rupturing of these myths. The ninjas were competing not against the course and not even, ultimately, against one another. They were competing to make history.

Listen as Tony Nash talks with athlete and personal trainer Michael Eckert, the 2015 Guinness World Record holder for most pull-ups (50) in a minute. Although extremely physically fit, Michael reveals his fitness “kryptonite” and failures and shares how he overcomes them. He talks about the importance of doing what you enjoy and surrounding yourself with things and people you like. Pull-ups mastery Michael Eckert, the 2015 Guinness World Record holder for the most pullups (50) in a minute, says his love and passion for pull ups began at home, after his father, an Army officer, brought home a military style pull up bar. He and his brother, who would later become an Army Infantryman, would engage in friendly competitions in their backyard. This worthy rivalry strengthened Michael because it was all fun, making him want to do more pull ups without any pressure. At the time, he was not aware that doing at least 40 pull ups was a huge deal. It was not until a rock climbing buddy dared him to do it and he was able to do 45. He is currently training to set the most pullups in 24 hours in September. Now that he's no longer an active duty Marine, Michael says he continues to value physical fitness and athleticism. “Whether morning, night, once a day, I always do something that involves moving my body around.” “I think everyone should be physically fit because you function better as humans when we're functionally in shape.”  He has his own fitness app Live Above the Bar, containing video workouts, nutrition guides, and health tips for his community. He is also a member of FitOps Foundation, an organization that seeks to reduce veteran suicide through fitness.   On being a generalist As a kid, Michael says he did not have any specific ambition. He was a little bit into everything that he enjoyed and he just loved the thrill of competition. “Since I spread myself around, I'm a pretty well-rounded athlete across the board. That's where I am right now.” He also never had a big role model growing up – in the real world, at least. He looked up to Goku, the protagonist of the Dragon Ball Z anime. Goku, originally sent to destroy Earth as an infant, grew up to become the strongest warrior and Earth defender.  His fitness kryptonite Famous for being the pullup guy, Michael reveals his biggest fitness kryptonite: mobility/flexibility. He recalls his time in the American Ninja Warrior, where he says everything  was a walk in the park until the finals, when he fell like a rock on the water after failing to accomplish the Jumping Spider.  “I was on national television, I looked down those two walls. I was like, I know my legs can't go that far apart.. But I'm on TV so I tried. So it looks like I jumped off the trampoline straight into the water. Like I didn't even try to go on the wall.” Recently, he has been trying to focus on gaining flexibility. Calling himself an “extremely inflexible” person, he does not like doing it but he knows it will increase his performance. He says if he keeps on doing something he hates, he just ends up putting it on the side. He ends up tweaking some stretches to find it more appealing to him.

Listen as Tony Nash talks with athlete and personal trainer Michael Eckert, the 2015 Guinness World Record holder for most pull-ups (50) in a minute. Although extremely physically fit, Michael reveals his fitness “kryptonite” and failures and shares how he overcomes them. He talks about the importance of doing what you enjoy and surrounding yourself with things and people you like. Pull-ups mastery Michael Eckert, the 2015 Guinness World Record holder for the most pullups (50) in a minute, says his love and passion for pull ups began at home, after his father, an Army officer, brought home a military style pull up bar. He and his brother, who would later become an Army Infantryman, would engage in friendly competitions in their backyard. This worthy rivalry strengthened Michael because it was all fun, making him want to do more pull ups without any pressure. At the time, he was not aware that doing at least 40 pull ups was a huge deal. It was not until a rock climbing buddy dared him to do it and he was able to do 45. He is currently training to set the most pullups in 24 hours in September. Now that he's no longer an active duty Marine, Michael says he continues to value physical fitness and athleticism. “Whether morning, night, once a day, I always do something that involves moving my body around.” “I think everyone should be physically fit because you function better as humans when we're functionally in shape.”  He has his own fitness app Live Above the Bar, containing video workouts, nutrition guides, and health tips for his community. He is also a member of FitOps Foundation, an organization that seeks to reduce veteran suicide through fitness.   On being a generalist As a kid, Michael says he did not have any specific ambition. He was a little bit into everything that he enjoyed and he just loved the thrill of competition. “Since I spread myself around, I'm a pretty well-rounded athlete across the board. That's where I am right now.” He also never had a big role model growing up – in the real world, at least. He looked up to Goku, the protagonist of the Dragon Ball Z anime. Goku, originally sent to destroy Earth as an infant, grew up to become the strongest warrior and Earth defender.  His fitness kryptonite Famous for being the pullup guy, Michael reveals his biggest fitness kryptonite: mobility/flexibility. He recalls his time in the American Ninja Warrior, where he says everything  was a walk in the park until the finals, when he fell like a rock on the water after failing to accomplish the Jumping Spider.  “I was on national television, I looked down those two walls.

Phidippus otiosus is a species of jumping spider that is found in southeastern North America. It is primarily a tree-living species. Females reach a body length of about 16 mm. Its iridescent fangs can range in color from purple to green.

Windy City Rollers announcer and coach Jumping Spider talk all about the 10-part ESPN/Netflix basketball doc THE LAST DANCE  about Michael Jordan and the ’98 Chicago Bulls' final quest for their sixth and final NBA Championship. Ourconvo went everywhere from my unresolved animus as a New York Knicks fan, who were routinely antagonized by his Bulls, to the parallels and differences between roller derby and basketball. Warning: Spider and I go into spoilers but I think it’s an enjoyable listen whether or not you’ve watched the doc.   **** Holding Space with Magical Wheelism is now available on Apple, Spotify, Google Play, and Youtube.

This animal forces us to ponder the nature of intelligence itself. They are running incredibly complex software on unbelievably small hardware: Their brain could fit on the head of a pin, and yet their sensory processing and strategizing abilities rival those of the smartest animals on earth.   Look closely at the photo above, and you will count eight eyes. This spider-hunting spider can see in all directions at once, stalk and deceive their prey, seduce them with false siren calls and manipulate them like a puppet master. Like a brilliant martial artist, this animal out-maneuvers and out-thinks their victims, risking their own life in the process.   Join us, today, and glimpse the unsettling depths of the spider's mind.   Bibliography: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11KiGGAiD1wiW4BiMZblFHqskHfQKyLfyBJJZk-hWL3w/edit
