Kentucky Jumping Spiders

[Nicole C G]

So my family just went on a trip to Kentucky to go to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, and I found some cool jumpers! I even found AT the Creation Museum! Unfortunately I couldn’t find any at the Ark Encounter…

-at Creation Museum. Paraphidippus something..

At Cabin:

-Pelegrina proterva male


-Phidippus otiosus



-Pelegrina galathea juvenile

Your images have improved immensely this year

A Biblical museum- yuck- Creationism is a horrible thing some people accept as fact, one being that dinosaurs and humans co-existed on Earth at the same time.

I would never support this radical organization

paraphidippus aurantius?

paraphidippus aurantius?

That’s what everyone said on iNaturalist. So my guess is that.

If an all powerful being can create a universe than wouldn’t he be able to make peace with his creation. Also, is it more likely for a creator to create a universe with all off its “distinct” species with micro evolution along the way(such as different brachypelma sp) or for a rabbit to turn into a reptile.

Can you define radical. Seems a bit extreme.

 

[Nicole C G]

I would prefer that this not become a creation vs evolution debate. Yes, I am a Christian to be clear, viper69. But please be civil and not just be rude (like you are being) bashing people and their work. Thank you though, about my photography.

Please keep the subject about Jumping spiders in Kentucky, as the museums aren’t even the focus of the thread.

How many Phidippus otiosus did you see. They seem to be a beautiful species

Just the one, it was beautiful! I found it in a thorny bush, so it hurt literally to photograph. It had about 8-10mm body.

the thorns:

To be clear, your beliefs are not my concern. You could be an atheist, I’d give you the same response.

Keep up the good pics

portraying people living with dinosaurs is radical because it’s not based in scientific evidence.

No different than if someone called arachnids, insects- that too is not based in scientific evidence
