These frogs, did you create that species yourself? They are a high degree of Frankenstein

They are very fascinating. Spiders have more complex genetics than humans. I heard lots of crazy stuff on a news show this week, they were talking about Australian Peacock Spiders.
I must admit, I want one. Especially if it has ‘Dark DNA’. It could be my perfect pet.
Mystery of dancing spiders’ DNA could explain how they develop into new species 'Dark DNA' may explain dancing spiders' extraordinary diversity

Why?
Spiders are our friends 
snakes are cuddly
Lizards and dragons are mental & frogs well what can I say; My 3 are philobates Vittatus or Golfodulcean poison dart frogs from Costa Rica (seconds most poisonous frog); so a gentle rub of a finger nail and a scratch & no more enemy
But, seriously when they are raised in captivity they lack access to Melyrid beetles which provides the batrachotoxin which causes irreversible paralysis very, very quickly and death through respiratory failure and/or heart failure; always fatal

As they can’t get the beetles in captivity they’re not poisonous, but I’m working on Ramon from CR

They’re part of the Jumping Spider family (Salticidae) specifically Maratus volans.
They are available in the UK and are easy to keep as are all JS’s

They’re a really important part of our ‘ecosystem’, without them and dedicated pollinators we’d be well and truly fucked

False widow Spider 
. A pair that I found in my MILs shed, they were happily living in a Hessian sack.

Having blown the picture up 
it’s blurry, but it looks like an imitation spooder.
The proportions are all wrong, legs to long abdomen too small and cephlothorax too big.
A bit of a cross between a Mexican red knee a Brazilian wandering and a Brazilian black, without any of the colouration.
But beautiful all the same
What scares people most are the long legs, big cephlothorax and big chelicerae {pronounced kuh-lis-suh-ree (what the fangs are attached to looks like an elongated bum with the piles from hell at the end)} so that’s what they go for when making a false spider or they go for the Black Widow look 
I’m only a very, very amateur arachnologist.
I specialise in Jumping Spiders and UK spiders especially NFWS (which I dislike intensely) , so I could be completely wrong, but it is what it is

It’s of the FWS genus, but it looks like a NFWS because of the black legs, but there’s so many colour variations it’s hard to be sure 
Still no touchy

It’s a Vapourer Moth caterpillar. They shed their hairs in defence, which can itch like fuck 
Male adults look like this 
Females have no wings and it’s not a good look:

Thanks for tagging @Lezourez
When I discover your weakness, I will also shamelessly exploit it.
One day… I am patient… so very very patient
