Little zebra jumping spider on my wall by my patio window plants. Probably on the hunt for a few fungus gnats.

Extremely tiny parasitic wasp, only a few mm in size!

Spider. I'll call him the bird poop spider, because that's what it looked like.

I checked in on my Powder Blue Isopods and found one munching on half of a cadaver. I don't know why it was white ... maybe a 'light lunch".

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Isopods moult so that might not be a cadaver.

 

[Trapper J]

Aahhh ... so it wasn't eating one. It was the moult shell - first one I've seen in the container. Thanks for solving the puzzle@ Lloyd Gordon. Allways learning something new.

A new jumping spider. I usually only have the zebra striped ones around.

And the usual spiders. I really like these ones because they're super friendly.
I wanted to take a picture of him so I just wiggled my finger along the edge of the pot and he came right up to my finger to see what I was doing.
