      Good news: It’s not the size of a pop-tart.

      Bad News: Cherry cobbler.

        That’s the one! Used to catch them as a kid briefly and put them back in their web. I always made sure spiders didn’t get harmed. Cool little guys.

        That is the female spider just from underneath. This is what I found when looking for what male vs female look like. OP’s picture is also a female and I still love her 💚

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoxya_tabulata

        The female spiders, especially orbweavers, always look way cooler than the males. I had a argiope argentata in my yard last year that looked like she had a skull for an abdomen, she was massive and the male was so tiny that it was hard to get a clear picture of him!

        Male:

        Female:

          Actually, I just remembered I found a different male near the front door and grabbed a better picture with the macro lens for my phone. He was really small!

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
