@Arachtober@arthropod.socialCelebrate October by posting arachnids and spiders with the tag #Arachtober. I am jciv, a macro photographer living in South Texas, USA, who loves spiders. 🇺🇸📸🕷️
If you dislike spiders, don't follow me. In account preferences, go to Filters to filter out hashtags you don't want to see. All the #spider photos I upload will be tagged. I will not use #CW on #spiders or #insects.

@twizzt@sauropods.winI am naturalist and macro photography enthusiast. I want to share how I see the tiny things in this world that make life livable. I have a MS in biology which focused on the ecology of plants, their insect herbivores, and the parasitoids that preyed on them.
I may occasionally toot about #chronicPain or #dyslexia but generally only to commiserate with others. You needn't notify my about misspellings as I just don't care anymore...

LisaSBaker
@LisaSBaker@mastodon.socialWelcome to my page! I love creating art that brings smiles to people's faces. Art is my outlet. I don't stick to one type of art, rather I let my soul guide me. This can range from abstracts, to cat art, to the beautiful to the goofy, it all depends on the day. Thanks for stopping by.
If you are interested in any of my pieces, they are available on a wide range or products, from canvas, metal, wood, posters, stationary, tote bags, and more. Pricing and sizes are available on my website.
