Phidippus Regius

This is one of the rarest colored P. Regius females that I ever came across in North Florida. The orange ones were most common, of course, but every so often I would come across a grey/white colored one, but this day I found this yellowish/cream colored girl. What is really strange is the fact that her chelicerae are green (usually this only applies to males). She was a very large, healthy specimen as well. One of my coolest finds during this time of working with jumping spiders. I shot her in her natural habitat (here), then took her home for a quick studio session, and immediately returned her to the location where I found her.

These shots are prepped for a spread in the book I'm working on currently, that will show my photography catalog of many Salticidae species shot and collected in North America.

HELLO I HAVE NEW SPIDERS

went to the reptile show today and came home with THREE NEW SPIDERS (these were planned purchases, i intended to come home with a tarantula of one of two species, depending on which i found, and 1-3 jumping spiders of various species, and that's what i did)

no excellent pics yet bc i'm leaving them to acclimate to their new houses, and they don't have names yet, but here they are!

~2.5 inch brazilian black tarantula Grammastola pulchra, young Apache jumping spider Phidippus apacheanus, and young regal jumping spider Phiddipus regius (plus bonus picture of the regal's fantasy kingdom housing setup which i'm gonna add to but i'm already quite proud of)

The G. pulchra is currently in an 8-inch cube, the regal is in a 6 inch, and the Apache jumper is in a 5 inch hexagon, all from TarantulaCribs. SO excited to watch these babies grow and get to know them!

#spiders #tarantulas #jumping spiders #brazilian black tarantula #regal jumping spider #apache jumping spider #the regal jumper is so well behaved she can do no wrong and i adore her #the apache was very very nervous abt leaving the sale container i had to scoop it onto a paper towel and place it inside #the bb is a little bastard (affectionate) who refused to leave his sale container #bolted. kicked hairs at the paper towel i was using to try and coax him out. bolted again. #hes sitting on the side of the sale container now and i just left it in there. he can have some time to chill that's fine #id rather not stress him out more. it's been a long day #also i dont know any of their sexes it's all vibes rn babey #i swear i'll get better pics soon. i love these kids so much already #my dresser is getting...very full... #i gotta acquire a separate shelving unit for these guys esp cause i also have a colony of madagascar hissers #who i'm gonna b moving into a much larger tank soon

We brought in my pothos that had been on the porch at our old apartment all summer and baby regal jumpers have been popping up in the room we hung it in (it's got mealybugs). People keep stealing the beauty blenders at work soooo I got the okay to take the empty containers home from my manager to make little terrariums! Why toss when you can recycle????

CRYIGN over sol and ik in the roleswap au. sol as the power-hungry king who rules with fear and force, ik as this little ball of mischief and starshine, sol won't let himself love or be loved while ik just WANTS to love and be loved. sol meeting this little lonely demon who's so solitary that she doesn't even know who she is so she isn't scared of him, at first just finding her amusing but then genuinely coming to care for her 🥺🥺🥺

sol inviting ik to come live with him and his big stone castle becomes so much more warm when he’s got this lil kid waiting around every corner to try and scare him. he laughs and smiles so much more and his subjects all marvel because they’ve never seen the king look as soft and kind as he does with his adopted kid. ik finally having a home and getting to fully express herself, cheeky little critter she is

sol going absolutely fucking ballistic on diavolo and barbatos when he finds out that ik ended up in the devildom because she fell from the celestial realm. the only reason he doesn’t try to kill them right then and there is because he needs to attend to ik first because oh god she’s remembering and she needs her adoptive dad right now 😭

'sol won't let himself love or be loved while ik just WANTS to love and be loved' this line is gonna make me CRY because holy crap it fits roleswap au ik and solomon so much (tbh it kind of fits jtta solomon and ik to an extent, though maybe more ik fits hers than solomon fits his in this case)

but they!! their happy little demon family!!! i love it so much :')

#answering asks #anon asks #roleswap au #demon solomon probably has real big regal wings #and in the beginning to assert his power he's in demon form most of the time #but once he takes ik in he starts spending more time in his more comfortable regular form #when they go out into town they genuinely just look like a regular dad and daughter #solomon's subjects would find it so jarring to see their king just out and about in a jumper and jeans #when normally they only ever see him with the massive wings and curling horns and royal robes

[theonlythingimfuckingisstupid]

everyone I’d like you to meet lidya, my new jumping spider :) I think she’s a regal jumping spider but I’m not 100% sure because I’ve not found two sources saying the same thing for appearance. She’s going to love in an old frappe cup with lots of sticks and ventilation holes :)

@cosmic-vulture submitted: my lovely girl ophelia having a nice meal! she's a regal jumping spider :) sorry for the blurry picture, she's still really small.

Please tell her that I love her! My regal jumper, Mina, just laid a clutch of (infertile) eggs and she's been very diligently guarding them. Proud of her.

Sister giving Dew lessons on how to be good, training him like you’d train a dog

Or, having him sit between her thighs for as long as she wants while his little cock is caged, unable to get any pleasure but unable to stop humping her leg nonetheless

It would be easier if he wasn't able to see it. He's sure that's part of why she makes it obvious; turn the screws a little harder, a little more pressure applied. The thin gold chain glints around her neck, and around that, the key. Small and plain, utterly unremarkable in appearance. No reason for anyone to guess at the function.

Before her, Dew trying hard to keep it together, to look as in control as is possible when he's wearing only a plain black jumper, pants down and around only a single ankle. Underwear too, looking so at odds with the neat and organized study around him. Kneeling at her feet, Dew's hips twitch forward bringing his caged cock against her nylon covered leg. Straddling it, enough to press against it. Not that it offers any modicum of relief, but there's something about it that still feels good to do. A pathetic little bid for attention. He keeps his head resting against her thigh, stroking up and down her leg, his eyes shut tight. His knees are sore against the hardwood floor of her office.

Imperator pets at his hair, and Dew groans.

"Unlock it," he mumbles, rubbing his cheek against her leg, a bid for comfort. "Just for a little bit. Just for one." He can't help but press it against her again. A useless little hump. Gets him nothing except the reminder that he's caged.

"And what have you done," Imperator asks, her voice measured and ever so slightly condescending, exactly the way he likes it best, "to think you've earned that?" Her nails rake against his scalp while she plays with his hair, and the frown deepens.

"M'leaving," Dew says. For tour, for months.

"Dewdrop," Imperator says softly, sweetly, "what the fuck does that have to do with anything at all?"

"You'll miss it," Dew says, trying to convince her. To take pity, to give him a break. Appeal to her own urges. Something. Anything that gets him taken out and touched. He continues nuzzling against her thigh, hips still pushing forward.

"It isn't like it's going anywhere, is it?" she asks, and then gets a handful of Dew's hair in a loose fist, a hint of how he'd like her to pull. "I'll know exactly where it is. Besides," she says, and Dew does look up at her now, gives her the most pleading eyes he can manage, "is that really what I'm going to miss most about you?"

"Just a little kiss, Sister," he frowns. Trying not to whine but how can he not? "One more cum. Please," he says, and knows the answer because he sees the amusement written on her regal face, "unlock it and-"

"Does it hurt?"

It hurts in ways Dew really likes. He blinks and nods. He sees the key around her neck. He longs to grab for it.

"And I suppose you want me to make it better," Imperator drawls.

"Uh huh," he says, grinding against her, insistent. She looks down at him, pityingly.

"I punish bad behaviours and reward good ones. So unless you can show me behaviour worth rewarding, the key stays with me."

Dew can be a good boy. He can be a very good boy.

He tells her as much.

It's easy, to throw her long skirt over his head, to pull her panties to the side and lick at her like that. Hiding underneath the linen fabric, making out with her cunt and trying to do everything possible to convince her to let him free and help him cum before he heads off with the band. Using his long fingers to spread her and expose her. Pull her lips apart so he can seal his lips around her clit and suckle at it sweet and soft, flicking his tongue back and forth over it. He hears the sounds she makes; she pleased. She's feeling good, he knows.

A knock on her office door has him freezing.

"Stay under my dress," Imperator says sharply, a hand on the back of his head. "It's just someone dropping off a file. They can't see under the desk. Stay quiet."

His heart thuds in his chest as he hears her call come in, and the creak of the heavy door when someone strides in. He breathes against her cunt and tries to keep still. No greeting, just a few heavy footfalls, something thrown onto the table, and then Imperator saying thank you very much. Footsteps receding, the door closing again, and after it does, Dewdrop sighs, surprised to have been tense from that.

"See?" Imperator says, stroking his head through her skirt, "keep going."

Dew licks at her and moans now. Desperate to get her off, prove to her he's earned something. He's been good- he was quiet, he didn't- he's been good. The sounds he's pulling from her make it obvious she agrees; she moans softly and grinds against his tongue.

"Make me cum," she orders. So he does. He slides a flat, wet tongue back and forth and sucks on her stiff clit until he feels it start to throb and twitch, and as he feels the first tremors in her thighs, slides his first and middle finger of his left hand into her in one slippery push, curling and pressing and her cunt is snapping around him moments later. He lets her ride it out and then loses himself, can't help but to babble.

"Make me cum," he whines, coming up from under her skirt. His chin is shining, lips wet and cheeks pink.

"Ask correctly," she says, and reaches up and behind her to undo the clasp of the chain the key is wound on. "You've been so good so far."

"Make me cum, mommy," he shivers, holding his hands against his crotch, cupping his trapped, needy cock. "Please, please make it cum."

"And you've been good?"

"So good," Dew nods. She pulls the chain off and holds the key up. "Been a good boy, been a good dog for you, huh, Sister?"

"Part of running this place is knowing when to delegate tasks," Imperator says, still holding the key aloft, and Dew feels instantly nervous. "So I'm going to make sure you have help being good while you're away."

"Mommy, huh?"Dew startles and his head whips around at the voice. Swiss grins, wide and predatory, and pushes himself off the door where he'd been leaning. Watching.

"No," Dew breathes, face falling and flushing a deep wine from the sudden hit of humilation. "Oh no, Sister-"

"Oh, it's back to Sister now?" Swiss asks, striding forward and to Dew's absolute horror and dismay, swiping the key from Imperator. "What happened to mommy?"

"You can go, Dewdrop," Imperator says, and she and Swiss chuckle at the misery washing over his face. His being as a whole. "If you feel you've earned the right to squirt, you can address that with our friend here." She stands, adjusting her clothes. "I've charged him with assisting me with this matter."

Swiss gives her hand a kiss and then they both look down at Dew, still shellshocked and crumpled on his knees, holding his hands over his cock to hide it.

"Buon viaggio," Swiss chirps.

[platycryptus]

Regal jumping spiders (Phidippus regius) are one of the world’s largest jumping spiders. Endemic to the southeast US, mostly Florida, where they can be quite common among low vegetation in open, sunny habitats and prefer to make their silk lairs on palmetto fronds.

They’re probably also the best-known species of jumper, mostly in the context of being kept as pets. They often charm even individuals who are otherwise arachnophobes, though I think their undeniable cuteness can make people overlook the fact that they’re incredibly formidable predators even by spider standards, able to use their excellent vision and reflexes to stalk and subdue large, dangerous prey. Awhile back I saw one eating another venomous predator, a wheel bug (Arilus cristatus) that was at least twice the size of the jumper.

One of the prettiest female Phidippus Regius I've ever come across. I shot this girl about 10 years ago in North Florida.

Currently, people sell these white colored Regals under the name "Bahamas Regius", implying that they are exclusive to the island regions. Unfortunately, this nothing further than a marketing ploy, as there are plenty of white Regals hiding in the Florida bush as well.

I’m just curious, how long do jumping spiders live?

Depends. Males tend to live shorter lives, around 6 months to a year from maturity, but I know they sometimes live longer if you can hand feed them. The girls it's usually 1-2 years after maturity, but you have the added complication of them laying eggs. Even if they're infertile, she could get eggbound, or experience other complications. I've read that cooling them over winter can help extend their lifespans, but I don't know how much of that is speculation regarding their wild habitat. Willow has been on the windowsill of a south-facing window this winter, so she's been a bit chilly, but she's still been active and eating. It may also depend on species- regals and bold jumpers tend to be commonly kept and share a similar lifespan, but other species might differ.

My and my roommate's spiders just passed today. Mine was a spiderling supposed to live a decade. I'm so upset. I think it was a ventilation issue. I don't know who to tell or how to feel okay.

Somehow, the old lady regal jumper someone had me nurse back to health is doing fine. I'm relieved someone lived at least.

one of my large old Ethmostigmus trigonopodus died this week too. not sure why, but I’m sad she didn’t live to have a successful clutch of young. apart of keeping animals alive is… them ceasing to be alive, but it doesn’t get any easier. I’m sorry for your loss. I hope miss regalis has an easy rest of her life

Heat (William Regal x Reader)

There's a lot of things William can change about himself. Being a living furnace isn't one of them.

(Girl I'm sorry I got to thinking about how perfect and warm he'd be to hold and how wonderfully large his body is and how much i adorw him and my brain wouldn't SHUT THE FU-)

Warnings: me rambling cause I wrote this in the middle of the damn night kay enjoy ily

William Regal didn't consider himself human.

Well, he did, it's just that for most of his career he wasn't the best. He was a conniving, scheming, dastardly bastard. A villain is what he used to call himself proudly. Until he got bored of it.

And like a reptile he shed his evil skin as he grew with age. That skin became softer, more tolerant, but still hard enough to remind you who he was if one dare to strike him or bare their fangs.

As much as he'd like to compare himself to a reptile, snake-like as his actions used to be, he was human. And he didn't mind it anymore. His blood was warm. As was his skin.

And he didn't mind it anymore.

You see, when you're a 6"4 and around 250, it's tends to make you good for a lot of things. Fighting, intimidating those who would threaten what you worked hard for. Reaching high shelves.

Holding lovers close on cold days.

The comforter was a mess at the foot of the bed. He wasn't even wearing proper night clothes, just an old t-shirt he should've brought to the charity shop years ago and boxers. But that seemed good enough for you.

It always did. When he was cooking for the two of you and you'd come from behind to rest your cheek against his back and arms around his waist. Resting your head in his lap as he watched his stories on Tv. Stealing his jumpers even though they were thrice your size. He was always good enough for you.

He had himself propped up against the headboard tonight, with you in his arms, treating his chest like a pillow, your arms wrapped around his torso like the best teddy bear you ever had. Your legs lay in between his as he listened to you breath.

Not a single joke slipped out of his mouth about being treated like a bed. Not a single joke even came to mind about how his figure had seen better days. Not tonight.

Not when said figure was keeping you warm while the cold rustled the leaves outside and turned the dew on the grass to frost. He heard you mumbled something sweet. Something he heard time and time again from you and still had trouble believing it.

"Hush." Was all he could say, crooning it in your ear as he stroke your hair and you clung to him.

He was human, his blood was as warm as yours. His body was warmer than yours. And he didn't mind it one bit.

-fin-
