The Performance of a Male Coastal Peacock Spider hoping to appeal to a Female mate.

Although other species of spider are known to perform mating rituals similar to this one, the legwork used as well as symmetry and colours of the clown faced abdomen is very unique.

A cannibalistic nature of the female; which is common in certain spider species, is also observed in this type. 

A female may witness the dance, but could already be carrying eggs or is uninterested. The perturbed female usually attacks the male; and although the male has superior jumping ability helping its escape, if it is not quick enough it is killed and devoured. 

It is also common that even if the female is interested, she can still devour the male after mating.

We dream in colors so vivid, bright hues shade our thoughts. Vibrant tones seep into our voices and my words seem to be tinged blue.

This is one of my closest friends, Samantha. Samantha has a bunch of disabilities, and her family is struggling so much to pay for it. To quote the page, “She was born with a extremely rare genetic duplication, static encephalopathy, mild cerebral palsy, Mitochondria, gastric disorders, and more. Over the years she has had more problems, with her health issues.” 

You don’t have to donate, but if you do, literally any type of money would help. You know that 4.45 you pay for starbucks? Maybe donate that instead.

That saying, if you can’t donate, PLEASE reblog this! Please. They only have 95 dollars out of 1,700$ raised, and they seriously need help.  The link to her page is down below:

Renwick Gallery Is Overtaken With 60 Miles Of Rainbow Hand Weaved by Gabriel Dawe

Contemporary artist Gabriel Dawe is delighting visitors at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery with his masterpiece “Plexus A1” - rainbows woven with 60 miles of thread that create a magical visual experience. It’s part of a major exhibition titled “Wonder” where several artists transform their location specific installations into a larger than life installation.

The Mexican artist combines the architecture of the historical museum and fashions a hand-threaded spectrum of rainbow yarn individually from floor to ceiling; replicating an enchanting experience for spectators as they walk through the corridors and hallways to be confronted by monumental rainbows sweeping from the ceiling to the floor.  Dawe has meticulously worked with 60 miles of thread for 10 days, composed of 15 colors of the spectrum, and single handedly blanketed the Renwick’s 19-foot tall ceilings with thousands of strands of polyester string. Mistaken for fleeting rays of light, the piece is an iridescent exhibition. Each layer is carefully constructed, to assure that the hues shift with light in a specific gradient mimicking a true rainbow.

Gabriel Dawe’s Plexus A1 is a resurrection of his memories from his childhood in Mexico city.
